Описание: Thomas Hobbes, the greatest English political philosopher, argued that human beings needed government in order to save their lives from being solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short. They form governments by making a contract with each other to support a sovereign, to whom they give their
right of governing themselves. In other words, government is artificial and not natural to human beings. Hobbess arguments are formidable, but often unacceptable. For example, few people believe Hobbess claim that the authority of their government is unlimited. Government needs to be limited in
some way, such as a system of check and balances, to prevent tyranny. Identifying exactly where Hobbes went wrong is difficult, but also illuminates the truth about government.

Hobbess Political Philosophy: Interpretation and Interpretations aims to clarify Hobbess positions by examining what Hobbes considered a science of politics, a set of timeless truths grounded in definitions. A.P. Martinich explains this science of politics, examining Hobbess views on the laws of
nature, authorization and representation, sovereignty by acquisition, and others. He argues that in addition to the timeless science, Hobbes had two timebound projects. The first was to eliminate the apparent conflict between the new science of Copernicus and Galileo and traditional Christian
doctrine by distinguishing science from religion and understanding Christianity as essentially belief in the literal meaning of the Bible. The second was to show that Christianity is not politically destabilizing by appealing to biblical teachings such as Servants, obey your masters, and All
authority comes from God.

In examining Hobbess views on political philosophy, Martinich gives a comprehensive overview of Hobbess historical context and puts his arguments in dialogue with other interpretations of Hobbess philosophy, drawing on the work of scholars such as Jeffrey Collins, Edwin Curley, John Deigh, and
Quentin Skinner. This new interpretation of Hobbess work will be of interest to philosophers interested in the history of philosophy as well as those interested in political philosophy, theology, and moral philosophy.
