The Oxford Handbook of Hobbes: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Oxford Handbook of Hobbes" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The Oxford Handbook of Hobbes collects twenty-six newly commissioned, original chapters on the philosophy of the English thinker Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679). Best known today for his important influence on political philosophy, Hobbes was in fact a wide and deep thinker on a diverse range of issues. The chapters included in this Oxford Handbook cover the full range of Hobbess thought--his philosophy of logic and language; his view of physics and scientific method; his ethics, political philosophy, and philosophy of law; and his views of religion, history, and literature. Several of the chapters overlap in fruitful ways, so that the reader can see the richness and depth of Hobbess thought from a variety of perspectives.
The contributors are experts on Hobbes from many countries, whose home disciplines include philosophy, political science, history, and literature. A substantial introduction places Hobbess work, and contemporary scholarship on Hobbes, in a broad context.
