Reihe: Political Thinkers

Hobbes' writing surprises, shocks, amuses and, above all stimulates criticism both of himself and of our conventional wisdom. This book, which is both expository and critical, concentrates on Hobbes' s ethical and political theory, but also considers the effect of these on his metaphysics.

Updated, with a new preface and critical bibliography, this book will be particularly useful as an introduction for undergraduates.
