Hobbes is perhaps the most enjoyable and provocative of political
thinkers. His writing surprises, shocks, captivates, amuses and,
above all, stimulates criticism both of himself and of our
conventional wisdom. He raises fundamental questions as much of
ethics as of politics; his suggested answers make him one of the
greatest of political philosophers and a highly acute thinker on
ethics. This important book is both descriptive and critical,
concentrating on Hobbes's ethical and political theory, but also
considering the effect on these on his metaphysics. D. D. Raphael
provides a distinctive analysis of Hobbes's account of artificial
obligations and rights, the relation between obligation and
causation and the continuing influence of mechanics on Hobbes's
psychology and ethical theory. He also includes a detailed survey
of other interpretations. Updated, with a new preface and critical
bibliography, this book will be particularly useful as an
introduction for undergraduates of politics and philosophy.
