- catalog abstract "Thomas Hobbes was the first great English political philosopher, and his book Leviathan was one of the first truly modern works of philosophy. He has long had the reputation of being a pessimistic atheist, who saw human nature as inevitably evil, and who proposed a totalitarian state to subdue human failings. In this new study, Richard Tuck shows that while Hobbes may indeed have been an atheist, he was far from pessimistic about human nature, nor did he advocate totalitarianism. By locating him against the context of his age, Dr. Tuck reveals Hobbes to have been passionately concerned witht the refutation of scepticismin both science and ethics, and to have developed a theory of knowledgte which rivalled that of Descartes in its imprtance for the formation of modern philosophy. -- Book cover.".
