Book Synopsis Philosophy, Rhetoric, and Thomas Hobbes by : Timothy Raylor
Book excerpt: 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.
