Bol An exploration of Thomas Hobbes’s political philosophy, as well as possible influences, through an examination of his understudied dialogues. Bringing together expert contributors across a range of disciplines from the UnitedKingdom, the United States and Europe, Hobbes in Dialogue shines a much-neededlight on the political and philosophical dialogues of Thomas Hobbes.Hobbes in Dialogue is divided into three major parts which address, first, earlierdialogues which shaped the background to Hobbes’s own; second, Hobbes’s philosophicdialogues and the wider context of Hobbes’s philosophy in relation to the dialogue form,and, finally, critics of Hobbes’s philosophy who expressed their critiques in dialogue form.The various chapters explore how the dialogue form allowed Hobbes, as one of theeminent thinkers who shaped early modern political thought, to present his politicalphilosophy in a different guise. How do Hobbes’s dialogues tally with his other often moresystematic works? Do they complement Hobbes’s earlier writings? Does Hobbes expectthe readers of his dialogues to know about his key positions and arguments as notablydeveloped in De Cive and Leviathan? These are some of the leading questions Hobbesin Dialogue considers in a collection that reveals much about Hobbes’s thought and,more broadly, the intellectual history of Europe in the early modern age.
