Philosophy, Rhetoric, and Thomas Hobbes

ISBN: 9780198829690 出版年：2018 页码：353 Raylor, Timothy Oxford University Press

Thomas Hobbes claimed to have founded the discipline of civil philosophy. This book offers a new reading of his intellectual development, arguing that he was dubious about the place of rhetoric in civil society and came to see it as a pernicious presence within philosophy - a position from which he did not retreat.
