About this topic
Summary This category addresses the philosophy of Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679). The most famous aspect of Hobbes's work is his political philosophy, which is explained in Leviathan and elsewhere. But Hobbes, like many philosophers of his day, also worked on a wide variety of other issues. Thus this section includes works that address Hobbes's views on many topics outside political philosophy, including mind, language, and religion.
Key works Hobbes's most famous book, Leviathan, is available in a variety of editions, including MacPherson's Penguin edition, Curley's Hackett edition, which includes translations of variants in the Latin edition, and a new edition of both the English and Latin texts, edited by Malcolm as part of the Clarendon Edition of the works of Hobbes. Other works include (in recent editions and translations) Hobbes 1994, Hobbes 1998, Hobbes 1994, Hobbes 1994, and Hobbes 1981
Introductions Lloyd & Sreedhar 2008 is an introduction to Hobbes's moral and political philosophy.  Duncan 2009 is an introduction to other aspects of Hobbes's philosophy.

Das politisch-philosophische Werk von Hobbes wird als Teil der komplexen Debatten der Revolutionsjahre 1640-1660 gesehen. Die Analyse ist bestrebt, Hobbes' Haltung gegenuber den aktuellen politischen Problemen seiner Zeit aufzudecken, um einen neuen Zugang zu seinen zentralen politischen Aussagen und ihrer Ausformung zu gewinnen.

  21. “A sociality of pure egoists”: Husserl’s critique of liberalism.Timo Miettinen - forthcoming - Continental Philosophy Review:1-18.
    According to Husserl’s self-description, his phenomenological project was “completely apolitical.” Husserl’s phenomenology did not provide a political philosophy in the classical sense, a normative description of a functioning social order and its respective institutional structures. Nor did Husserl have much to say about the day-to-day politics of his time. Yet his reflections on community and culture were not completely without political implications. This article deals with an often-neglected strand of Husserl’s philosophy, namely his critique of liberalism. In this article, liberalism (...)

  23. Is the Hobbesian State of Nature Racialized?Susanne Sreedhar - 2023 - Hobbes Studies 36 (1):28-50.
    Thomas Hobbes, like other early modern social contract theorists, has been accused of promoting racist views in his philosophy – ideas used to justify European imperialism and the devastation of Indigenous peoples. I argue that his philosophy does not assume or promote a naturalized racial hierarchy. I demonstrate that the logic of Hobbes’s project requires rejecting a racially essentialist conception of human nature. His is a thoroughgoing and unrepentant anti-essentialism; he claims that there are no objective, immutable, necessary differences between (...)

  24. Hobbesian Diffidence, Second-Order Discrimination, and Racial Profiling.Yolonda Y. Wilson - 2023 - Hobbes Studies 36 (1):74-96.
    Taking Hobbesian logic as my starting point, I argue that Hobbesian diffidence, one of the causes of quarrel in the state of nature, does not disappear once the citizens enter civil society. Rather, diffidence is merely contained by the sovereign. Following Alice Ristroph, I argue that diffidence comes to shape what citizens demand of the state/sovereign in the criminal law. However, I show that Ristroph does not fully appreciate that the concept of diffidence is a racialized one, and as such, (...)

  25. Thomas Hobbes in Racist Context.Adrian Blau - 2023 - Hobbes Studies 36 (1):9-27.
    Is it anachronistic to talk about racism in Hobbes? After all, racism is usually seen as biological: the disliked group must have innate characteristics which are inherited biologically. This is mostly said to be a modern idea. Yet biological racism can be found in medieval and early modern times, as with the Spanish doctrine of limpieza de sangre (cleanliness/purity of blood). Racism, including biological racism, was much more common in Hobbes’s England than we might think, including in texts he may (...)

  26. Hobbes Among the Savages: Politics, War, and Enmity in the So-called State of Nature.Allan M. Hillani - 2023 - Hobbes Studies 36 (1):97-121.
    In this article I argue that Thomas Hobbes’s theory of the “state of nature” should be understood as describing a thoroughly political situation. Hobbes’s exemplification of the state of nature by resorting to the “savages” of America should be taken in its ultimately paradoxical character, one that puts in question the stark opposition between a prepolitical natural state and the properly political state resulting from the “social contract.” Through the lenses of ethnographic studies and anthropological theory, I propose a reinterpretation (...)

  27. Hobbes and Leibniz on the Nature and Grounds of Slavery.Iziah C. Topete - 2023 - Hobbes Studies 36 (1):51-73.
    During a period when transatlantic slavery was still being racialized, Hobbes and Leibniz represent stark alternatives on the nature and justification of slavery. This article investigates Leibniz’s encounter with the Hobbesian position on slavery (servitus), drawing out the racial implications. Throughout his political works, Hobbes defended voluntary servitude by transforming a legacy of Roman jurisprudence that had come to be encapsulated in the law of nations (jus gentium). Hobbes defended the justification that a master could possess slaves as de jure (...)

  28. Loi naturelle, révélation et droit des femmes dans le De Cive de Thomas Hobbes : un mariage malheureux.Théo Certain - 2023 - Laval Théologique et Philosophique 79 (1):3.
    Cet article prend pour point de départ la place toute particulière qu’occupent les femmes dans les normes légales dès l’Antiquité, y compris dans les textes sacrés, et notamment dans la législation sur le mariage et l’adultère. Nous présentons alors, à partir du De Cive, le jusnaturalisme théiste de Hobbes comme une tentative originale de fonder en Dieu et en raison les lois auxquelles sont soumises les femmes. Mais au moment de son exégèse des versets 5,31-32 de l’évangile de Matthieu sur (...)

    The present essay provides an overview of the images of seventeenth-century philosophy in the Rivista di storia della filosofia (then retitled Rivista critica di storia della filosofia) in the years 1946–1983. Founded in 1946 by Mario Dal Pra, the journal promoted a new anti-idealistic approach to the history of philosophy. Based on philological accuracy, this approach enhanced the complexity of history and the interdependence of different fields of knowledge. In particular, the unprecedented emphasis on the connections between science and philosophy (...)

Three examples are examined in this (...)

  43. Potentia eximia_ & _Excellentia facultatum_: the relation between liberty and power from the _Leviathan_ to _De Homine.Roger Castellanos Corbera & Josep Monserrat-Molas - forthcoming - British Journal for the History of Philosophy:1-14.
    Hobbes redefines his conception of liberty in the Leviathan as the absence of external impediments to motion. Power, on the other hand, refers to the body’s intrinsic dimension, that is, to the faculties possessed by each individual. There thus appears to be a clear distinction between liberty and power in Hobbes’ political philosophy. Taking into consideration Hobbes’ Latin works, however, in which he uses two different terms to refer to power: at times potestas and others potentia, such a distinction may (...)

  44. The scholastic’s dilemma: Hobbes critique of scholastic politics and papal power on the Leviathan frontispiece.Allan Gabriel Cardoso dos Santos - forthcoming - History of European Ideas.
    The idea that the Leviathan frontispiece offers a visual summary of the contents of the work is widespread. However, the analysis of the frontispiece often under-explores Leviathan's text or leaves certain iconographic elements aside. In discussions of the Scholastics ‘Dilemma’ emblem, for instance, the image is commonly reduced to a representation of ‘logic’ or ‘scholasticism’, leaving aside the intricate interrelationship between the objects present in the image and their connection with the content of the book. This paper argues that this (...)

  49. Was Thomas Hobbes the first biopolitical thinker?Samuel Lindholm - forthcoming - History of the Human Sciences.
    Thomas Hobbes's name often comes up as scholars debate the history of biopower, which regulates the biological life of individual bodies and entire populations. This article examines whether and to what extent Hobbes may be regarded as the first biopolitical philosopher. I investigate this question by performing a close reading of Hobbes's political texts and by comparing them to some of the most influential theories on biopolitics proposed by Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben, Roberto Esposito, and others. Hobbes is indeed the (...)

    This article problematizes the political category of the monster in Hobbes’s thought from a biopolitical perspective. Even though political thought has been traditionally focused on Leviathan’s figure as a political monster, here we pay particular attention to the maxim homo homini lupus, which can be identified with the werewolf. This figure allows us on the one hand, to show how the wolf becomes man with the creation of the State, and on the other hand, to show how there is a (...)
