Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Thomas Hobbes: As Philosopher, Publicist and Man of Letters This sketch was first written under the title of ´Thomas Hobbes as a Man of Letters,´ being the Matthew Arnold Memorial Essay for 1921, and is now published with some slight additions. An expanded and apparently more pretentious title has been adopted from a desire to set forth the catholicity of Hobbes´ studies and to emphasize the fact that his title to fame cannot be baldly summarized in the phrase ´the author of the "Leviathan."´ Even so, Hobbes is something more yet than a philosopher (natural and metaphysical), a publicist and a man of letters. He is also a theologian and withal the doughtiest exponent of a theory of the divine modus operandi which has never quite lost popularity from pagan times to the present day. Resembling in much that other great theorist of Authoritarianism, de Maistre, Hobbes unfavourably distinguishes himself from the protagonist of the ultramontane theory of sovereignty by failing to perceive that the problem of moral authority is more profound than that of political authority. His failure does but serve to shew that the problems of the English (Puritan) Revolution were, despite certain appearances to the contrary, less fundamental in the history of thought and religion than those of the French Revolution.
