| Physical Description | 1 online resource (xii, 404 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Series | Cambridge companions to philosophy |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 09 Nov 2015). |
| Contents | A summary biography of Hobbes / Noel Malcolm -- Hobbes's scheme of the sciences / Tom Sorell -- First philosophy and the foundations of knowledge / Yves Charles Zarka -- Hobbes and the method of natural science / Douglas Jesseph -- Hobbes and mathematics / Hardy Grant -- Hobbes on light and vision / Jan Prins -- Hobbes's psychology / Bernard Gert -- Hobbes's moral philosophy / Richard Tuck -- Hobbes's political philosophy / Alan Ryan -- Lofty science and local politics / Johann Sommerville -- Hobbes on law / M.M. Goldsmith -- History in Hobbes's thought / Luc Borot -- Hobbes on rhetoric / Victoria Silver -- Hobbes on religion / Patricia Springborg. |
| Summary | It was as a political thinker that Thomas Hobbes first came to prominence, and it is as a political theorist that he is most studied today. Yet the range of his writings extends well beyond morals and politics. Hobbes had distinctive views in metaphysics and epistemology, and wrote about such subjects as history, law, and religion. He also produced full-scale treatises in physics, optics, and geometry. All of these areas are covered in this Companion, most in considerable detail. The volume also reflects the multidisciplinary nature of current Hobbes scholarship by drawing together perspectives that are now being developed in parallel by philosophers, historians of science and mathematics, intellectual historians, political scientists, and literary theorists. |
