Thomas Hobbes - Critical Assessments (Hardcover)

Thomas Hobbes is arguably one of the greatest of all English philosophers. In the second half of the 20th century, he has been subject to sustained critical attention. He was capable of powerful argument on virtually any plane, whether logical, scriptural or historical. And he has attracted attention in all these areas and more - to do with questions of historical method, language and linguistics, metaphysics, ethics, law, politics, science and religion. Hobbes has been attended to from a great variety of perspectives - as an ethical positivist and a deontologist, as a bourgeois advocate and a supporter of the aristocracy, as an absolutist and a proponent of parliamentary government, as a "conservative" and a "modern", as an atheist and a believer. The periodical literature on Hobbes is accordingly varied, but it is also difficult to access. The four volumes of these critical assessments conveniently assemble an important array of material. This ready availability should prove helpful to all students of Hobbes.
