Originally published in 1991. This book explicitly examines
rhetoric as the art of persuasion in the practical world, and as in
the expression of thinking in the language a speaker uses. It
presents Leviathan in terms of the philosophical character of the
work considered through Hobbes' use of language to express and
organise his thought. Throughout, the nature of the relationship
between rhetoric and philosophy is discussed and the problems of
language in philosophical understanding. The book is concerned with
Hobbes' political philosophy and his views on figurative language,
interest in literary theory and particularly his allegory. A
special feature is the chapter on engraved title pages in Leviathan
and other texts of the era.
