Author of Leviathan, one of the most enduring works of modern philosophy, Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) is generally considered the first great English political philosopher. Richard Tuck's study explores Hobbes in the context of his age, revealing his passionate concern for the refutation of skepticism in both science and ethics, and his development of a theory of knowledge which rivalled that of Descartes in its importance in the formation of modern philosophy.
