Hobbes's Political Philosophy: Interpretation and Interpretations
Martinich, A.P. (Roy Allison Vaughan Centennial Professor Emeritus in Philosophy, Roy Allison Vaughan Centennial Professor Emeritus in Philosophy, University of Texas at Austin)
Hobbes's Political Philosophy: Interpretation and Interpretations aims to clarify Hobbes's 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 Hobbes's 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 timeboundprojects. The first was to eliminate the apparent conflict between the new science of Copernicus and Galileo and the second was to show that Christianity is not politically destabilizing.
