"Reader's Guides" are clear, concise and accessible introductions
to classic works of philosophy. Each book explores the major
themes, historical and philosophical context and key passages of a
major philosophical text, guiding the reader toward a thorough
understanding of often demanding material. Ideal for undergraduate
students, the guides provide an essential resource for anyone who
needs to get to grips with a philosophical text. Thomas Hobbes is
widely considered to have been ahead of his time and his huge
contribution to political philosophy has only recently been fully
recognised. His most enduring work, "Leviathan", is a key text in
the study of political philosophy and a hugely important and
exciting, yet challenging, piece of philosophical writing. In
"Hobbes' 'Leviathan': A Reader's Guide", Laurie M. Johnson Bagby
explains the philosophical background against which the book was
written and the key themes inherent in the text. The book then
guides the reader to a clear understanding of the text as a whole,
before exploring the reception and influence of this classic
philosophical work. This is the ideal companion to study of this
most influential and challenging of texts.
