Description

Thomas Hobbes was one of the most important and influential philosophers of the seventeenth century.

Covering all the key concepts of his work, Starting with Hobbes provides an accessible introduction to the ideas of this hugely significant thinker.

Thematically structured, this book leads the reader through the full range of Hobbes's ideas and, uniquely, not just his political philosophy.

In his day, he was internationally as famous for his theories about knowledge, language, the material nature of reality, mathematics, psychology, and religion, as he was for his politics; and these aspects of his work are fully covered.

The book places Hobbes firmly in his historical context, with discussions of his relations to contemporary thinkers such as Galileo and Descartes and his influence on later thinkers such as Spinoza and Leibniz.

This is the ideal introduction for anyone coming to the work of one of the greatest of English philosophers for the first time.
