Thomas Hobbes' Korperbasierter Liberalismus: Eine Kritische Analyse Des Leviathan

»Thomas Hobbes' Body-Based Liberalism«Hobbes' scholarship concentrates on the rational actor, but broadly ignores both the body and the bodily passions in Hobbes' political philosophy. The book Thomas Hobbes' Body-Based Liberalism addresses this issue and develops a new reading of Hobbes' argument in the Leviathan. Furthermore, the book shows how Hobbes grounds his rhetorical strategies in a distinct theory of the human passions, thereby making an important contribution to the problem of how to interpret Hobbes' political philosophy.
