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's
'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.
