Jeffrey R. Collins

The Allegiance of Thomas Hobbes

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The Allegiance of Thomas Hobbes debunks the standard view of Hobbes as a royalist, and recovers his sympathies with the religious projects of the 1640s and 1650s. Culminating with an exploration of Hobbes's surprising sympathies with Cromwell, Jeffrey Collins offers a new interpretation of the religious significance of the English Revolution.
