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.Readership: Students of philosophy, history of western ideas, and political theory; general readers interested in philosophy and European thought.Part I: Hobbes's lifeThe life of a humanistThe life of a philosopherThe life of a hereticPart II: Hobbes's workScienceEthicsPoliticsReligionPart III: Interpretations of HobbesHobbes as a modern natural law theoristHobbes as the demon of modernityHobbes as the social scientistHobbes as a moralistHobbes todayConclusion
