1681 1ed Life of Thomas
Hobbes Leviathan Philosophy Bathurst Blackburne Cowley
“The condition of
man . . . is a condition of war of everyone against everyone.”
– Thomas Hobbes
Thomas Hobbes was
perhaps the most notable 17th-century English philosopher who conducted social
studies and published historical theories on politics, physics, and law. While
works such as ‘Leviathan’ and ‘De Cive’ were his most popular books, works such
as ‘De Homine’ and ‘De Corpore’ proved to be highly important.
This book is a
collection of three separate works published as one, each of which is a ‘life
of the author’ describing the life and work of Hobbes. The first is thought to
be by Ralph Bathurst, the second by Richard Blackburne, and the third by
Hobbes himself. In addition to the biographical sketches, this book
includes poems dedicated to Hobbes by Abraham Cowley, Bathurst, and John
Aubrey.
