Produktinformationen zu „Human Nature and De Corpore Politico “
Thomas Hobbes was the first great philosopher to write in English. His account of the human condition, first developed in The Elements of Law (1640), which comprises Human Nature and De Corpore Politico, is a direct product of the intellectual and political strife of the seventeenth century. It is also a remarkably penetrating look at human nature, and a permanently relevant analysis of the fears and self-seeking that result in the war of `each against every man'.
In The Elements of Law Hobbes memorably sets out both the main lines of his general philosophy, later augmented in De Corpore (1655), and the moral and political philosophy later made famous in Leviathan (1651).
Copies of Human Nature and De Corpore Politico, until 1889 printed as separate works, are rare antiques or scarcely less rare scholarly texts; this is the first complete popular edition. It is here supplemented by chapters from De Corpore and Three Lives, two from Hobbes's original Latin. These have never before been published together in English.

Autoren-Porträt von Thomas Hobbes
Der englische Philosoph Thomas Hobbes (1588 - 1679) gilt spätestens seit Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts als Klassiker des politischen Denkens und als Vater der Vertragstheorie. Hobbes wird am 5. April 1588 in Westport, Wiltshire geboren und erwirbt schnell den Ruf eines Wunderkinds. Von 1603 bis 1608 absolviert er ein Studium an der puritanischen Magdalen Hall in Oxford, das noch stark durch die aristotelische Schulphilosophie geprägt ist. Danach tritt er in den Dienst der Familie Cavendish, einer der reichsten und einflußreichsten Adelsfamilien Englands, der er über drei Generationen als Tutor und freundschaftlicher Begleiter, Berater und Privatsekretär verbunden bleiben wird. Diese Anstellung erlaubt es ihm, umfangreiche Studien auf zahlreichen wissenschaftlichen Gebieten zu betreiben sowie auf Reisen Bekanntschaft mit den bedeutendsten Gelehrten seiner Zeit zu machen, u.a. mit Galilei und Descartes.
Während des englischen Bürgerkriegs lebt Hobbes in Paris, wo auch seine ersten wichtigen philosophischen Schriften (v.a. De Cive , 1642) entstehen. Sein Hauptwerk, der Leviathan , erscheint dann 1651 in London. Im Leviathan argumentiert Hobbes sowohl für den Absolutismus wie auch für den Liberalismus, was ihm schnell und nachträglich die Feindschaft aller Lager einbringt. Am 4. Dezember 1679 stirbt er auf Hardwick Hall, Derbyshire.
Heute zählt Hobbes mit Platon, Locke oder Kant zu den bedeutendsten politischen Philosophen überhaupt.
