Abstract

This Companion makes a new departure in Hobbes scholarship, addressing a philosopher whose impact was as great on Continental European theories of state and legal systems as it was at home. This volume is a systematic attempt to incorporate work from both the Anglophone and Continental traditions, bringing together newly commissioned work by scholars from ten different countries in a topic-by-topic sequence of essays that follows the structure of Leviathan, re-examining the relationship among Hobbes's physics, metaphysics, politics, psychology, and religion. Collectively they showcase important revisionist scholarship that re-examines both the context for Leviathan and its reception, demonstrating the degree to which Hobbes was indebted to the long tradition of European humanist thought. This Cambridge Companion shows that Hobbes's legacy was never lost and that he belongs to a tradition of reflection on political theory and governance that is still alive, both in Europe and in the diaspora.

Abstract

La pensée politique moderne a confié à l'Histoire le soin de conduire à son terme ce que la philosophie classique nommait recherche de la vérité. Or, pour que l'histoire du monde devienne le tribunal du monde, il fallait abolir la distance, affirmée par la philosophie classique, entre la Raison qui éclaire les hommes et les vicissitudes de leur action dans l'histoire. La philosophie politique devient moderne, et nous avec elle, en engageant un double mouvement contradictoire. D'un côté, le " culte du fait ", avec Machiavel, puis Hobbes, pose le nouvel impératif de l'obéissance à la nécessité. De l'autre, le " culte du droit ", promu par Rousseau, nourrit le refus du monde mixte où force et justice se mêlent, et entretient le désir utopique d'une société où tout serait justifié devant le tribunal de la raison. Culte du droit et culte du fait se rejoignent dans le culte de l'individu, fait ultime du monde humain et source de tous les droits. Toute la force de l'exposé de Pierre Manent est de montrer comment, dans le développement de la pensée politique moderne et dès l'origine, perspective " scientifique " ou " réaliste " et perspective " morale " ou idéaliste " dépendent l'une de l'autre et sont finalement inséparables. L'utopie du droit se fonde et se redouble dans l'utopie du fait

Abstract

Thomas Hobbes is widely acknowledged as the most important political philosopher to have written in English. Originally published in 2007, Taming the Leviathan is a wide-ranging study of the English reception of Hobbes's ideas. In the first book-length treatment of the topic for over forty years, Jon Parkin follows the fate of Hobbes's texts (particularly Leviathan) and the development of his controversial reputation during the seventeenth century, revealing the stakes in the critical discussion of the philosopher and his ideas. Revising the traditional view that Hobbes was simply rejected by his contemporaries, Parkin demonstrates that Hobbes's work was too useful for them to ignore, but too radical to leave unchallenged. His texts therefore had to be controlled, their lessons absorbed and their author discredited. In other words the Leviathan had to be tamed. Taming the Leviathan significantly revised our understanding of the role of Hobbes and Hobbism in seventeenth-century England.

Abstract

This book was the first full account of one of the most famous quarrels of the seventeenth century, that between the philosopher Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) and the Anglican archbishop of Armagh, John Bramhall (1594-1663). This analytical narrative interprets that quarrel within its own immediate and complicated historical circumstances, the Civil Wars (1638-49) and Interregnum (1649-60). The personal clash of Hobbes and Bramhall is connected to the broader conflict, disorder, violence, dislocation and exile that characterised those periods. This monograph offered not only the first comprehensive narrative of their hostilities over two decades, but also an illuminating analysis of aspects of their private and public quarrel that have been neglected in previous accounts, with special attention devoted to their dispute over political and religious authority. This will be of interest to scholars of early modern British history, religious history and the history of ideas.
