[PU: Vancouver: University of British Columbia Press], XIV, 201 p. Cloth. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - kleine Flecken auf Einband, sonst seht guter Zustand / small stains on cover, otherwise very good condition. - There can be no doubt that Thomas Hobbes intended to create a complete philosophical system. In recent years, piecemeal analysis has ignored that intention and reduced his philosophy to an unsystematic jumble of irreconcilable parts. It is generally believed that Hobbes's mechanistic physics is at odds with his notorious egoistic psychology, and that the latter cannot support his prescriptive moral theory. In this book Gary B. Herbert sets forth an entirely new interpretation of Hobbes's philosophy that takes seriously Hobbes's original systematic intention. The author traces the historical and conceptual development of Hobbes's science, psychology, and politics to reveal how those separate parts of his philosophy were eventually united by developments in his concept of conatus. After an analysis of Hobbes's accounts of space, matter, and body, Herbert concludes that, although Hobbes is clearly a materialist, his natural philosophy is not the naive mechanics it is often thought to be, but a precursor to modern phenomenology. The book's thorough analysis of Hobbes's account of the passions concludes that it is not simply a reproduction of Aristotle's viewsan interpretation that originated with Leo Strauss. Rather, it is a development of the conatus concept of his natural philosophy. It is also a refutation of Descartes' account of philosophical and scientific "generosity" and, more generally, part of the seventeenth-century debate over the role of science in matters of morality that culminates in Hobbes's own version of the unity of scientific and moral wisdom. Through an analysis of Hobbes's doctrine of natural right the author shows how man's passionate cohcern for his own natural right to life, pursued to its natural limits, is sufficient in itself both to transform him into a paragon of moral virtue and also to serve as the original source of philosophical and scientific desire. Hobbes's political thought is thereby reintegrated with his natural philosophy and psychology in such a way as to constitute a philosophical system. / Contents Preface Acknowledgments 1 Hobbes's Philosophical Intention The Medicinal Reinterpretation Hobbes's Rejection of Antiquity The Critique of Ancient Moral Philosophy Critique of Ancient Metaphysics Hobbes's Introduction to Leviathan The Conceptual Development of Hobbes's Philosophy The Early Writings The Mature Writings The Unity of Scientific and Moral Wisdom 2 Hobbes's Philosophy of Nature Bodies Digression: The Historical Backdrop Hobbes's Natural Philosophy The Early Natural Philosophy Hobbes's Mature Natural Philosophy Space Imaginary Space Real Space Body as Phenomenon Hobbes, Leibniz, and Some Observations from Hegel 3 The Liberation from Natural Necessity The Generation of Voluntary Motion Language and Understanding 4 The Passions Self-Preservation The Development of Hobbes's Account The Elements of Law: Life as a Race The Leviathan Account of the Passions Desire and Aversion Joy and Grief Love and Hate The Influence of Descartes The Dialectic of Desire Curiosity: The Indefatigability of Desire 5 Hobbes's Doctrine of Natural Equality Hobbes's Arguments for Natural Equality De Corpore Politico De Cive Leviathan The Function of the Doctrine of Equality 6 Political Theory Hobbes's Earlier Political Theory Leviathan: The Mediation of Right and Law What the Sovereign Must Be The Liberties of Subjects The Unity of Political, Moral, and Scientific Wisdom Conclusion Notes Bibliography Index.
