Commentators have traditionally constructed Hobbes's thinking on
representation too narrowly, as a self-contained area of his
political theory. This book challenges this orthodoxy of Hobbes
scholarship, which owes less to Hobbes s thought than to
contemporary preconceptions of what counts as political thinking.
In her powerful and original analysis, M nica Brito Vieira mines
neglected strands of Hobbes's theory of representation, and
reinstates it in a much wider pattern of Hobbes s theorizing about
human thought and action in relation to widely varied images, roles
and fictions. The result is a compelling portrait of how man's
natural power to form representations through the imagination and
artifice underpins his capacity to break away from nature, and
fashion a world that best suits his needs.
