His own preferred psychological explanation for the fear of death that so marked his writings was his pregnant mother’s own fear of the Armada. As well as being a political philosopher, Hobbes was the first English translator of Thucycdides’ History of thePeloponnesian War , and the influence of Thucydides marks many pages of Hobbes’s own work. He also opposed Descartes, writing a set of Objections to the Meditations . His fame rests principally on his Leviathan (1651) written during the English Civil War, and probably the most important single work in the history of political philosophy. Although Hobbes speaks to us over a distance of more than three centuries, the world of which he speaks is perhaps more recognizably modern than that depicted by later thinkers such as Locke. It is a world of conflict and violent death such as we have seen in Lebanon, Somalia and former Yugoslavia. It is a world in which people engage in armed revolt in the name of political or religious principles, as they have done in modern Algeria. It is also a world of cut-throat competition and mistrust. Hobbes himself, despite or because of his fear of death, lived to the age of 91, a remarkable age for the seventeenth century.

3. Thomas Hobbes THOMAS HOBBES (15881679). The philosophy of Thomas Hobbes is perhapsthe most complete materialist philosophy of the 17th century. http://oregonstate.edu/instruct/phl302/philosophers/hobbes.html

THOMAS HOBBES (1588-1679) "The universe is corporeal; all that is real is material, and what is not material is not real." The Leviathan The philosophy of Thomas Hobbes is perhaps the most complete materialist philosophy of the 17th century. Hobbes rejects Cartesian dualism and believes in the mortality of the soul. He rejects free will in favor of determinism, a determinism which treats freedom as being able to do what one desires. He rejects Aristotelian and scholastic philosophy in favor of the "new" philosophy of Galileo and Gassendi, which largely treats the world as matter in motion. Hobbes is perhaps most famous for his political philosophy. Men in a state of nature, that is a state without civil government, are in a war of all against all in which life is hardly worth living. The way out of this desperate state is to make a social contract and establish the state to keep peace and order. Because of his view of how nasty life is without the state, Hobbes subscribes to a very authoritarian version of the social contract.

Thomas Hobbes senior was described by Aubrey in [13] as:- ... one of the ignorant Sir Johns of Queen Elizabeth's time; could only read the prayers of the church and the homilies; and valued not learning, as not knowing the sweetness of it. Thomas Hobbes senior had an older brother, Francis Hobbes, who was a wealthy merchant with no family of his own. Thomas Hobbes, the subject of this biography, had one brother Edmund who was about two years older than he him. Thomas began his schooling in Westport Church when he was four years old. However, when he was seven years old, his father had an argument with another vicar at the door of his church. Blows were exchanged and Hobbes' father ran off. It is unclear what role his mother played in his upbringing after that, but he was certainly brought up by his uncle Francis after this. From age eight Hobbes, who was by this time proficient at reading and arithmetic, attended Mr Evan's school in Malmesbury, then later Robert Latimer's private school in Westport. Hobbes showed his brilliance at this school and was an outstanding Greek and Latin scholar by the time he left this school at age fourteen, having already translated Euripides'

Thomas Hobbes English Philosopher Hobbes developed a materialist and highly pessimistic philosophy that was denounced in his own day and later, but has had a continuing influence on Western political thought. His Leviathan (1651) presents a bleak picture of human beings in the state of nature, where life is "nasty, brutish, and short." Fear of violent death is the principal motive that causes people to create a state by contracting to surrender their natural rights and to submit to the absolute authority of a sovereign. Although the power of the sovereign derived originally from the people, Hobbes said-challenging the doctrine of the divine right of kings-the sovereign's power is absolute and not subject to review by either subjects or ecclesiastical powers. Hobbes's concept of the social contract led to investigations by other political theorists, notably Locke, Spinoza, and Rousseau, who formulated their own radically different theories of the social contract.

Thomas Hobbes Leviathan Thomas Hobbes was an English philosopher, scientist, and political theorist. His philosophy marked a departure in English philosophy from the religious emphasis of Scholasticism. His ideas represented a reaction against the decentralizing ideas of the Reformation which, Hobbes contended, brought anarchy, and are regarded as an important early influence on the philosophical doctrine of utilitarianism. Hobbes entered Oxford University when he was only 15 years old, receiving a bachelor's degree in 1608. He then became a tutor to the Cavendish family and spent most of his life in similar employment, including tutor to Charles II during his exile in Paris in 1646. Hobbes made three visits to the continent in his life, the first in 1610 which included discussions with Francis Bacon, under whose influence Hobbes became dissatisfied with Aristotelianism . In 1628 he published an English version of Thucydides' works, partly to warn his countrymen about the dangers of democracy. His second trip was to France from 1629 to 1631, where he developed an interest in mathematics and thought he could apply mathematical methods to cure the ills of a society on the verge of civil war. On his third trip he met and was influenced by Galileo, Marin Mersenne, and Rene Descartes , and conceived the idea which permeates his philosophythe geometrical deduction of the behavior of men from abstract scientific principles.

Thomas Hobbes, 1588-1679. The natural law philosopher Thomas Hobbes lived during some of the most tumultuous times in European history consequently, it should be no surprise that his theories were thoroughly pessimistic regarding human nature. Born near Malmesbury, the early death of his father, an impoverished local vicar, brought young Thomas Hobbes under the care of his wealthy uncle. At the age of fourteen, he entered Magdalen College, Oxford, and took his B.A. five years later. In 1608, he acquired a post as a tutor to the son of William Cavendish, Earl of Devonshire. This gave him time to devote himself to the Classics. Disenchanted by Aristotlean acrobatics, Hobbes eagerly embraced the historian Thucydides (whose book he translated and published in 1628). After his first tour of Europe in 1610, he made the acquaintance of Francis Bacon . However, he only became converted to the scientific outlook in the 1630s, after being seduced by Euclid's Geometry and hobnobbing with European scientists (particularly, the circle of Abbé Mersenne) during a tour of the continent. Hobbes was particularly entranced by Galileo's reverse vision of dynamics. Contrary to

Governments Early Life Thomas Hobbes was born at Westport, adjoining Malmesbury in Wiltshire, on April 5, 1588. His father, the vicar of the parish (so John Aubery tells us), "was one of the ignorant Sir Johns of Queen Elizabeth's time, could only read the prayers of the church and the homilies, and valued not learning, as not knowing the sweetness of it" (Letters written by eminent persons. . .and Lives of eminent men, 1813). Hobbes led a sheltered and leisured life. His education was provided for by an uncle, a solid tradesman and alderman of Malmesbury. He was already a good Latin and Greek scholar when, not yet fifteen, he was sent to Magdalen Hall, Oxford. On leaving Oxford, in 1608, he became companion to the eldest son of Lord Cavendish of Hardwicke (afterwards created Earl of Devonshire), and his connection with the Cavendish family lasted (although not without interruptions) till his death. Three times in his life, Hobbes traveled on the continent with a pupil. His first journey was begun in 1610, and in it he visited France, Germany, and Italy, learning the French and Italian languages, and gaining experience, but not yet conscious of his life's work. On his return (the date is uncertain), he settled down with his young lord at Hardwick an din London. His secretarial duties were light, and he set himself to become a scholar. To this period, belongs his acquaintance with Bacon, Herbert of Cherbury, Ben Johnson, and other leading men of the time.

Hobbes was born of an impoverished clerical family in Malmesbury, Wiltshire. At school he quickly excelled, making a reputation as a linguist and fluent poet and translator. After Oxford he entered the the employment of William Cavendish, and except for a short interval remained secretary, tutor, and general advisor to the family for the rest of his career. His employment included several "Grand Tours" during which he met the leading European intellectuals of his time. As a spokesman for the royalist Devonshires, Hobbes was caught up in the turmoil preceding the Civil War, and fled to France in 1640, remaining there until 1651. Because of his writings, especially Leviathan , Hobbes lived in serious danger of prosecution after the restoration of Charles II.
