Samenvatting

-Covers important topics such as atheism, and human nature -Hobbes was the first great English political philosopher -Richard Tuck is an expert in political philosophy and history -Discusses Hobbes' view of the natural human condition as 'nasty, brutish, and short' -Fully updated bibliography for this edition. Thomas Hobbes, the first great English political philosopher, has long had the reputation of being a pessimistic atheist, who saw human nature as inevitably evil and proposed a totalitarian state to subdue human failings. In this illuminating study, Richard Tuck re-evaluates Hobbes's philosophy and dispels these myths, revealing him to have been passionately concerned with the refutation of scepticism, and to have developed a theory of knowledge which rivalled that of Descartes in its importance.
