Extractions: Executive summary: Leviathan English philosopher, born at Malmesbury on the 5th of April 1588, was the son of a clergyman of that town. At the age of 14, he went to Oxford, and was put through the usual course of Aristotelian logic and physics. His instructions in the syllogism he afterwards held in very small estimation. At the age of twenty, having taken his degree and departed Oxford, he was recommended to Lord Hardwicke, afterwards Earl of Devonshire, as tutor to his eldest son, this being the commencement of an intimate connection with that great family which lasted through his long life. In 1610, he went abroad with his pupil, and made the tour of France and Italy. After his return, he still continued to live with the Devonshire family, and his residence in London afforded him opportunities of becoming acquainted with

Extractions: May it please your Lordship, Your Honours most humble, and most devoted Servant, Tho. Hobbs. Reader, I promise thee here such things, which ordinarily promised, doe seeme to challenge the greatest attention, and I lay them here before thine eyes, whether thou regard the dignity or profit of the matter treated of, or the right method of handling it, or the honest motive, and good advice to undertake it, or lastly the moderation of the Authour. In this Book thou shalt finde briefly described the duties of men, First as Men, then as Subjects, Lastly, as Christians; under which duties are contained not only the elements of the Lawes of Nature, and of Nations, together with the true originall, and power of Justice, but also the very essence of Christian Religion it selfe, so farre forth as the measure of this my purpose could well bear it.
Thomas Hobbes Brief Of The Art Of Rhetorick

Extractions: Index This is a linked index 1. That Rhetorick is an Art consisting not only in moving the Passions of the Judge; but chiefly in Proofs. And that this Art is Profitable. 2. The Definition of Rhetorick. 3. Of the several kinds of Orations: and of the Principles of Rhetorick. 4. Of the Subject of Deliberatives: and the Abilities that are required of him that will deliberate of Business of State. ... 16. Of Proofs Inartificial. 1. The Introduction. 2. Of Anger. 3. Of Reconciling, or Pacifying Anger. 4. Of Love and Friends. ... 28. Amplification and Extenuation are not Common Places. Enthymemes by which arguments are answered, are the same with those by which the Matter in question is proved, or disproved. Objections are not Enthymemes. Note: In Book III, Hobbes omits Aristotle's 8th chapter on "Rhythm." The number of each subsequent chapter is thus one less than the corresponding chapter in Aristotle's Art of Rhetoric.

http://www.who2.com/thomashobbes.html

Extractions: @import url("http://www.who2.com/css/standard_gamma.css"); Thomas Hobbes was an English philosopher who wrote the 1651 book, Leviathan , a political treatise that described the natural life of mankind as "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short." Hobbes was educated at Oxford and worked as a tutor to the son of William Cavendish, later the Earl of Devonshire. His connections to the royal family gave him opportunities to travel and pursue his studies, but they also put him in the middle of the English Civil War. In 1640 political turmoil forced him to leave England for France, where he continued to associate with scholars and scientists of Europe, including Galileo and . In his philosophical works, Hobbes wrote that matter and motion are the only valid subjects for philosophy. In Leviathan , he argued that man's natural state is anti-social, and that moral rules are created to avoid chaos. Hobbes's notion that social authority can come from the people and not necessarily a monarch rankled his royal associates, but helped him reconcile with Oliver Cromwell and the English revolutionaries, and he returned to England shortly after

THOMAS HOBBES
Translate this page Biografie, theorie en schilderijen van thomas hobbes, die zich bezig hield met de filosofie van het materialisme in de 17de eeuw.
http://www.geocities.com/peterbut24/hobbes/

Extractions: Deze Engelse filosoof bracht waarschijnlijk de meest complete filosofie van het materialisme in de 17 de eeuw. Hij verwerpt het Cartesiaans dualisme en gelooft in de sterfelijkheid van de ziel. Hij verwerpt de vrije wil en stelt determinisme in de plaats. Aan de natuurwetenschap van Galilei heeft Hobbes zijn algemene begrippenkader ontleend. De kernbegrippen van zijn systeem zijn : "Lichaam" en "Beweging". Alles wat gebeurt, ieder natuurlijk proces, is te herleiden tot de bewegingen van materiële lichamen. Ook de mens is een "natuurlijk lichaam" en al zijn gedragingen berusten op natuurlijke processen die op dezelfde wijze empirisch bestudeerd en causaal verklaard kunnen worden als de processen in de dode natuur. Daarnaast wordt Hobbes aanzien als een belangrijk denker over de staat, politiek en maatschappij. In de uiteenzetting van zijn theorie wordt dit duidelijk waarom.

Extractions: SEARCH TESTIMONIALS EXCHANGE FEEDBACK ... find related titles The Correspondence of Thomas Hobbes (Forthcoming) “"Superb....The state of our knowledge has suddenly been transformed....We must be grateful not merely for the letters that remain but for the truly spectacular job that Dr. Malcolm has done in making them available. The concept of definitive scholarship has been made to seem almost paradoxical in these post-modern days. But research of the quality displayed in these volumes reminds us that the ideal is by no means wholly out of reach." "These two volumes constitute the first collection of Hobbe's known correspondence, and their publication is therefore an important literary and philosophical event....They open a window onto many aspects of the 17th century world, anyone interested in history, literature, politics, philosophy, and the history of science will find them utterly absorbing....Interest in Hobbes has been steadily reviving in recent years, and Malcolm's magnificent edition of his correspondence will help to spur that process."

Subverting The Leviathan; Reading Thomas Hobbes As A Radical Democrat; James Mar
Subverting the Leviathan offers a highly intelligent and innovative interpretation of thomas hobbes, one that will provoke much thoughtful discussion.
http://www.columbia.edu/cu/cup/catalog/data/978023113/9780231139847.HTM

Extractions: In Leviathan , Thomas Hobbes's landmark work on political philosophy, James Martel argues that although Hobbes pays lip service to the superior interpretive authority of the sovereign, he consistently subverts this authority throughout the book by returning it to the reader. Martel demonstrates that Hobbes's radical method of reading not only undermines his own authority in the text, but, by extension, the authority of the sovereign as well. To make his point, Martel looks closely at Hobbes's understanding of religious and rhetorical representation. In Leviathan , idolatry is not just a matter of worshipping images but also a consequence of bad reading. Hobbes speaks of the "error of separated essences," in which a sign takes precedence over the idea or object it represents, and warns that when the sign is given such agency, it becomes a disembodied fantasy leading to a "kingdom of darkness." To combat such idolatry, Hobbes offers a method of reading in which one resists the rhetorical manipulation of figures and tropes and recognizes the codes and structures of language for what they are-the only way to convey a fundamental inability to ever know "the thing itself." Making the leap to politics, Martel suggests that following Hobbes's argument, the sovereign can also be seen as idolatrous-a separated essence-a figure who supplants the people it purportedly represents, and that learning to be better readers enables us to challenge, if not defeat, the authority of the sovereign.

After working as a private tutor he went to Europe, returning to England in 1637. In that year the country was in political upheaval - the preamble to the Civil War. By 1640 Hobbes decided his safety was at risk due to the worsening political situation and retreated to France, where he produced a number of significant works, including his most famous, Leviathan (published in 1651).

I had a free JetBlue flight that was about to expire. Being January I'll be spending most of my time in museums and bars. Most of the New Museum is this very austere white and gray so I was a bit surprised when I entered the basement bathroom to find this riot of flowers and burnt orange. Afterwards I visited my friend Bryan who lives nearby [very close to my old place on Mulberry, in fact]. In his bathroom he's framed flyers he saved from Club Luxx back from 2002 when we were both new to New York. I like how the Scissor Sisters weren't even top billing.
