Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) is now recognized as one of the fathers
of modern philosophy and political theory. In his own time he was
as famous for his work in physics, geometry, and religion. He
associated with some of the greatest writers, scientists, and
politicians of his age including Ben Jonson, Galileo and King
Charles II. A. P. Martinich has written the most complete and
accessible biography of Hobbes available. The book takes full
account of the historical and cultural context in which Hobbes
lived, drawing on both published and unpublished sources. It will
be a great resource for philosophers, political theorists, and
historians of ideas. The clear, crisp prose style will also ensure
that the book appeals to general readers with an interest in the
history of philosophy, the rise of modern science, and the English
Civil War. A. P. Martinich is a Professor of Philosophy and the
author or editor of nine books, including The Philosophy of
Language (1996), Philosophical Writing (1997), and The Two Gods of
Leviathan (Cambridge University Press, 1992).
