Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) is one of the most important early modern
thinkers. Though Hobbes is best known for Leviathan (1651) and the
theory of absolute sovereignty, his works discuss virtually all the
major problems of philosophy as well as science and mathematics,
and contain the translations of classical texts like Thucydides'
History of the Peloponnesian War, a verse church history, and
various essays. Hobbes spent most of his adult life in the service
of the influential Cavendish family. The Historical Dictionary of
Hobbes's Philosophy offers a comprehensive guide to the many facets
of Hobbes's work. Through its chronology, introductory essay,
bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries
on concepts, people, works, and technical terms, Hobbes's impact on
philosophy and related fields is made accessible to the reader in
this must-have reference. Intended as a reference to learn about
particular aspects of Hobbes, it also serves as a quick guide to
check information and find the relevant secondary literature on
Hobbes. It is an excellent access point for students, researchers,
and anyone wanting to know more about Thomas Hobbes.
