Book Description
Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) is now recognized as one of the fathers of modern philosophy and political theory. In his own time he was as famous for his work in physics, geometry, and religion. He associated with some of the greatest writers, scientists, and politicians of his age including Ben Jonson, Galileo and King Charles II. A. P. Martinich has written the most complete and accessible biography of Hobbes available. The book takes full account of the historical and cultural context in which Hobbes lived, drawing on both published and unpublished sources. It will be a great resource for philosophers, political theorists, and historians of ideas. The clear, crisp prose style will also ensure that the book appeals to general readers with an interest in the history of philosophy, the rise of modern science, and the English Civil War. A. P. Martinich is a Professor of Philosophy and the author or editor of nine books, including The Philosophy of Language (1996), Philosophical Writing (1997), and The Two Gods of Leviathan (Cambridge University Press, 1992).

As Close to the Standard Edition As It Gets.......2003-03-01
One, if not the first, in a series of biographies of European philosophers by Cambridge University Press, this volume more than holds its own and is bound to becomne the standard text on the life of Thomas Hobbes.
Deftly written and extremely well researched, this is a volume not only for the scholar of English philosophy or history, but for the well-read layman as well. Martinich presents his subject chronologically, as any good biography should, with brief stopovers for analysis of each Hobbes text both philosophically and within the historical context against which it was written. Martinich is most unusual in that he does not take his own words as the last ones on the subject; there are pages on his disagreements with other writers on interpretations of both the life and thought of Hobbes, which makes this volume both unusual and valuable to any understanding of its subject.
Pricey, but strongly recommended, especially if one has any of the other volumes in the Cambridge series. If possible, wait for the paperback . . . but not too long, for there is much about Hobbes one will miss.
Book Description
Thomas Hobbes, the first great English political philosopher, has long had the reputation of being a pessimistic atheist, who saw human nature as inevitably evil and proposed a totalitarian state to subdue human failings. 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.

An authoritative introduction to the first great English political philosopher.......2007-08-13
The author starts by telling us "Hobbes created English-language philosophy". Really? What of Francis Bacon, to whom Hobbes once acted as amanuensis? Poor Bacon does get a brief, grudging mention later on. The description in the blurb of Hobbes as "the first great English political philosopher" is probably more accurate. Certainly he is important, in a broad Western context. He was central to the transition from medieval to modern thought, and was a strong influence on Rousseau and others. Tuck is an expert guide (despite his inexplicable slighting of Bacon) and his style is very readable. This introduction covers Hobbes's life, works and intellectual legacy. Reliable and informative, it is highly recommended as an introduction to, and summary of, Hobbes's ideas, but to better appreciate the context, you might want to read (dare I say it?) Bacon's Essays first.
Adequate but less than lucid.......2006-01-24
Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) was an extremely important English philosopher, best known for his political philosophy, especially as found in the work "Leviathan".
Richard Tuck's overview of Hobbes does an adequate job of summarizing the views of this important philosopher; however, the book at times feels a little bit too detail-oriented, often at the expense of forming a more clear picture of Hobbes's philosophy as a whole. One particularly confusing discussion involves Hobbes's ideas about the difference between a "natural right" and a "natural law".
The three main sections of the book focus on Hobbes's life, Hobbes's work, and later interpretations of Hobbes. Perhaps this last section is the most fascinating; we find, for example, Hobbes political theory in modern times being analyzed within the idiom of "game theory".
Tuck is clearly an expert and knows what he's talking about, but his book might be pitched just a bit over the head of a true beginner to the study of Hobbes or philosophy in general.
All in all this is a decent work - but it occasionally becomes over-academic at the expense of clarity... and in a work of this sort, clarity is a priceless asset.
Good very short introduction.......2004-12-15
I was able to read this entire little book in much less than a day. Especially interesting was the first section, "Hobbes' Life", which described the relationships between philosophers of that time, both between each other and society. The section on Hobbes' philosophy was also well done, and very informitive. The section on interpretations of Hobbes' didn't seem to have a point. It covered the fine distinctions modern scholars are making, which is well outside the scope of a book introducing someone to Hobbes. As this section can simply be skipped it didn't take away from the book, despite it's questionable value.
An introduction to Hobbes written with clarity and grace.......2000-04-07
When I read British philosophy as an undergraduate, I skimmed over Hobbes and focused primarily on Locke, Berkeley, and Hume. It was not until recently that I realized the importance of Hobbes's political thought. Therefore, I decided to read Hobbes's "Leviathan." Having previously discovered the outstanding little books in the "Past Masters" series published by the Oxford University Press, I first looked to see if the series included a title on Hobbes, and I found Tuck's book, which I read before reading "Leviathan." Tuck's "Hobbes" provided me with a good foundation for reading "Leviathan," and Tuck greatly increased my appreciation for Hobbes. Tuck is particularly careful to describe not only Hobbes's political philosophy; he also provides an introduction to Hobbes's thought regarding religion, science, ethics, and philosophical method. By gaining an overall picture of Hobbes's thought, I came to appreciate Tuck's claim that "Hobbes created English-language philosophy." I recommend this book to anyone approaching Hobbes for the first time.

Book Description
With deft, picturesque prose, Aubrey presents biographical sketches for an intriguing and colorful parade of statesmen, poets, philosophers, and scientists, including Walter Raleigh, Francis Bacon, William Shakespeare, John Milton, Thomas Hobbes, and Rene Descartes, as well as a host of lesser known but equally fascinating figures. This anecdotal, gossipy collection brings to life the tumultuous world of Elizabethan and Stuart England and its revolutions in politics, science and morality. At the same time, Aubrey revels in the sheer variety of human nature and in the detailed, intimate, and sometimes scandalous aspects of his subjects' lives. An antiquarian, Aubrey began his collection as source material for his friend Anthony Wood's histories of Oxford University. In this new edition, more faithful to the original text than previous versions, Brief Lives emerges as a revolution in the art of English biography, a mixture of entertainment and erudition, and a lively portrait of an age.

Rambling 17th century gossip.......2001-02-15
It's fun reading this collection of digressive informal anecdotes about famous (and some obscure) Englishmen. If you enjoyed "An Instance of the Fingerpost" (where some of thc characters appear) you'd like this. As a primary source for information it gets less reliable the further back it goes. Aubrey was born in 1626 so his accounts of Shakespeare and Elizathans are a generation removed, but he had met Harvey and Penn and had been through the Civil War and the rule of Cromwell.
A unique gleaning of 17th century English history and gossip.......1998-03-18
Because its author never completed most of the entries for this biographical work, and never published it, what he did set down about his varied noble and ignoble subjects is uncensored, gossipy, perhaps unsubstantiated, and delightful. If you like browsing in Pepys' diary, or are fascinated by English life in the 17th century, this is the book to leave about for the occasional free moment.

FASCINATING AND ENGAGING BIOGRAPHIES.......2002-10-19
This book provides fascinating sketches of four prominent individuals who lived during the time of England's King Charles I and the British Commonwealth. Two are Royalists, and two are Puritans/Commonwealthmen which makes for a balanced book. I actually learned a lot about the political issues at stake during the English Civil War through reading these four fascinating sketches. Rowse writes in a witty and engaging style which makes this book a pleasure to read.

Leviathan is both a magnificent literary achievement and the greatest work of political philosophy in the English language. Permanently challenging, it has found new applications and new refutations in every generation. This new edition reproduces the first printed text, retaining the
original punctuation but modernizing the spelling. It offers exceptionally thorough and useful annotation, an introduction that guides the reader through the complexities of Hobbes's arguments, and a substantial index.
Download Description
Thomas Hobbes wrote this definitive thesis on how to establish a manageable government. "Leviathan" is a treatise similar to Machiavelli's approach to the jurisdiction allowed to independent countries. Hobbes believed that the first principle of human conduct is self-interest, and this behavior is the base element of social confrontation. In order to maintain peace and uphold the law, a sovereign is needed to guard the people's safety and punish anyone who breaks the regulations. The sovereign is one power, not a division of controlling elements. The commonwealth he commands can only be built by force or agreement. When the government has such power, the individual citizen can allocate his time and energy to serving the needs of his family and satisfying the requirements of a good administration. This same system also allows the privilege of self-defense but not aggression. Hobbes surmised the God's natural law is an education of rational enlightenment which influences all situations. Please Note: This book is easy to read in true text, not scanned images that can sometimes be difficult to decipher.

Written thoroughly........2007-08-23
Hobbes is a master of rhetoric and builds up a convincing arguement that you have to spot early on in order to not be pulled into his flawed statements. Human beings cannot be pigeonholed and I would not choose Stalin and communism over a democratic society even if we were in a state of chaos. And no, I do not think it's such a tragedy that there are no notes. Think for yourself. Come up with your own notes, not someone else's.
DO NOT BUY THIS CLASSIC IN THIS EDITION!!!!.......2007-05-26
This is not a review of the work itself.
One comment only: surprisingly enough, the editor of this volume, the 'world renowned' Richard Tuck DOES NOT PROVIDE NOTES, please pay attention: the book was originally published in 1651 (or something) but nevertheless the so called Hobbes scholar does not provide scholarly notes... and this is supposed to be a 'student's edition'... ha ha
Shame on you, Mr. Tuck!
What to do with Modern World.......2007-02-18
This huge work is the foundation of classical liberalism; it is the basis for Locke, for Smith, and all economic neo-liberalists all the way up to the current period. Written during the English Reformation, Hobbes was confronted with the problem of absolute individualism; he begins this work of political theory with a demolishment of objective truth swift enough to impress any post-modernist. He then proceeds to demonstrate the logical conclusion of man in a state of nature, and compels the modern world to enter into his social contract, or Leviathan out of necessity and fear. It is tempting to write off Hobbes as a cynic, but who can deny that much of what motivates individuals in the modern world is simply a fear to maintain survival and acceptance. It is the driving force of modern societies in terms of economic competition, and inter-national conflicts. Hobbes was a thinker of true depth and insight, though his ideas are so commonly ingrained in modern society that it is difficult to see why they were revolutionary when they were composed.

A classic in political philosophy.......2007-01-02
Three essential hallmarks of the Hobbesian system are important: the war of each against all, the role of human rationality in ending this; the use of knowledge/science as a basis for societal engineering. His view of the state of nature--that time before government and the state existed--is unsurprising when one understands that he was born in the year of the erstwhile invasion by the Spanish Armada (1588) and lived through civil turmoil and revolution in England throughout his life.
Hobbes begins with a view of human life that would be inconceivable to the Greeks--life in a state of nature, the time before government, laws, and the state existed. In this state, humans are equal. In terms of physical prowess, of course, some are stronger than others. However, the weakest, through guile, can still kill the strongest. In that sense, there is equality. Without the power of government to keep people in check, though, we find quarrels routinely breaking out. The motives are threefold: self-gain, safety, and reputation (or glory). The result is horrible, and here follows perhaps the single most well known statement penned by Hobbes: "Hereby it is manifest, that during the time men live without a common Power to keep them all in awe, they are in a condition which is called Warre; and such a warre, as is of every man, against every man. . . .In such condition, there is no place for Industry; because the fruit thereof is uncertain; and consequently no Culture of the Earth; no navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by Sea; no commodious Building; no Instruments of moving, and removing such things as require much force; no Knowledge of the face of the Earth; no account of Time; no Arts; no Letters; no Society; and which is worst of all, continual feare, and danger of violent death; And the life of man, solitary, poore, nasty, brutish, and short."
However, the fear and terror of the state of nature can be escaped. Humans are, after all, according to Hobbes, capable of reason. Individual reason leads people to realize that they must do something to escape ". . .Feare of Death; Desire of such things as are necessary to commodious living; and a Hope by their Industry to obtain them." Furthermore, human reason allows individuals to understand laws of nature. This is defined by Hobbes as ". . .a Precept, or general Rule, found out by Reason, by which a man is forbidden to do, that, which is destructive of his life, or taketh away the means of preserving the same." To preserve life, and the fruits of industry that might be gained by peace, human reason lets people realize that only by giving up some of their freedoms, liberties, rights in order to establish a system that will end perpetual war of each against all. The mechanism for this is the "social contract," by which people in the state of nature covenant with one another to form a powerful government, so powerful that it can suppress individuals' efforts to seek self-advantage as under the state of nature. A "Leviathan" is needed.
However, if the state ceases to protect people's lives, the contract can be voided; revolution is an acceptable option for the citizenry then. However, the price is terrible, for with the dissolution of the state, people are plunged back into the nightmare of the state of nature. They would have to re-enact a contract to escape the ravages of the perpetual war.
Key points in Hobbes: the focus is on the individual rather than society, hence this is an individualistic system; human reason is considered to be central to attaining peace and harmony; humans can perceive the essence of natural laws through the powers of their reason; by contracting with one another, the people can control their destinies and produce an environment which they find more commodious for living fruitfully. An important early work in the development of Modern thinking and liberal political thought. A must read work for those interested in Western political philosophy.

Dragging Hobbes through the mud.......2006-01-25
The copy I have of this book was written long before September 11, 2001. The Acknowledgements by Arnold A. Rogow are dated January 21, 1986. Rogow spent plenty of time with the papers and manuscripts of Hobbes at Chatsworth and in Silverthorne's House, Wiltshire. I have not been able to determine if Thomas Hobbes' mother ever wore combat boots, but people who have been to Stonehenge were within the county of Wiltshire:
Unhappily, apart from two brief references in John Aubrey's BRIEF LIVES, all that we know of Hobbes's mother has already been mentioned. In his account of Hobbes's life, first published in 1813, Aubrey stated that Hobbes's mother was a "Middleton" from Brokenborough, a hamlet close to Malmsbury, and that the Middletons were "a yeomanly family," that is, a family that owned enough land to provide itself, at least in good years, with a comfortable living. Aubrey may have been correct about the family name of Hobbes's mother and the village from which she came, but neither Brokenborough, nor nearby Westport, nor Malmsbury, nor any other Wiltshire town contains any record of a late-sixteenth-century family by the name of Middleton. (p. 20).
Things were not always happy in Malmsbury or nearby in Foxley. Hobbes left for Oxford in 1603, and a hearing began in the Salisbury Consistory Court that October against his father for libel. Both parties to the lawsuit were clergymen, and the father of the political philosopher did not do as he was told when he was ordered to do penance in Foxley church on February 5, 1604, after which the court on February 8 "pronounced the said Thomas Hobbes contumacious and ... excommunicate accordingly." (p. 27). There was another court hearing February 22, about a "violent assault" (p. 27) by the elder Hobbes in Malmesbury (see the picture of the churchyard on page 28) on the parson of Foxley, but by then he had moved closer to London.
Sometimes one can learn a lot about a philosopher by comparing him with an opposite point of view. I was familiar with Nietzsche before I realized how Walter Kaufmann was adopting Nietzsche's contempt for Kant. Both Kant and Nietzsche were familiar with Greek philosophers, but had opposing views of Socrates and Plato. Nietzsche and Hobbes might be considered similar in that both were weak in mathematics but learned ancient Greek early in life. Hobbes was fond of singing the songs of "Sir Henry Lawes (1596-1662), another Wiltshireman and the foremost songwriter of his day," (p. 225) while Nietzsche found the operas of his own time enchanting. Both went to schools which took great pride in what they taught. The big difference was that Nietzsche excelled and was given a university position in 1869, but Hobbes settled for being the tutor for seventeen-year-old Gervaise Clifton in 1629 and being on a European tour mainly in France in 1630.
Intelligence tests might not be capable of measuring the entire spectrum of human abilities, but they do measure something, and it is easy to guess that Arnold A. Rogow would score quite highly on modern forms of evaluation, while he keeps coming up with reasons for thinking that Thomas Hobbes was a dunce. Geometry is the example in Rogow's book for demonstrating how wrong Hobbes was capable of being. The founding members of the Royal Society did not consider Thomas Hobbes worthy of membership. "Hobbes, who believed he had solved the problem of squaring the circle, a conundrum that had eluded the best mathematical minds from the beginning of time, ... eventually produced twelve different circle-squaring *solutions,* had not in fact solved the problem, though the more Wallis and others proved that he had not, the more Hobbes insisted that he had." (p. 196).
Prior to going to Oxford, Hobbes had translated Euripides' Medea from Greek into Latin. His first published work was a translation of Thucydides, which was ready for the press in 1628. (p. 78). This book compares three translations, finding a bias in Hobbes toward a view of the Athenian government that "much preferred it when `it was democratic in name, but in effect monarchial under Pericles.' " (p. 82). Hobbes is so closely identified with the need for a strong individual to rule that a critic, John Whitehall complained in 1651 that Hobbes would have the religion of each country selected by its ruler. At least Hobbes favored "the subordination of religion to the civil authority" (p. 238).
Is it difficult to think of ways in which Rogow could have pictured Hobbes as what is currently considered a chicken-hawk? In Chapter 6, "The First to Flee," Hobbes went to Paris in 1640 when Scots invaded England. Strafford, the king's principal advisor, had been impeached for treason, and Hobbes personally felt that the fall of the sovereign King Charles I might be "the single worst calamity that could befall mankind" (p. 123). Strafford was later executed, Charles I was beheaded at the end of the decade that began with the Long Parliament, but Hobbes "lacked physical courage" (p. 125). Busy writing, "In a passage written more than ten years before Hobbes made his peace with Cromwell and urged, in LEVIATHAN, his fellow citizens to do the same, Hobbes argued that conquered subjects were as obligated to obey their conquerors as they previously had been to obey the ruler who was conquered. ... For no man can serve two masters." (p. 129).
I do not feel qualified to categorize the importance for political philosophy of Thomas Hobbes. Perhaps this book merely reflects the sour grapes of one who prefers books for company instead of the turmoil found in Parliament. A note on page 110 claims that a book of mathematics history in 1800 "assures us that according to word of mouth, Galileo gave Hobbes (while strolling near the Grand-ducal Pleasure Palace) the first idea that the doctrines of ethics [Sittenlehre] can be brought to a mathematical certainty by applying the principles of geometry."
