520 8 "Thomas Hobbes, one of the most important figures in the
history of political philosophy, is still widely regarded
as a predominantly secular thinker. Yet a great deal of
his political thought was motivated by the need to address
problems of a distinctively religious nature. This is the
first collection of essays dedicated to the complex and
rich intersections between Hobbes's political and
religious thought. Written by experts in the field, the
volume opens up new directions for thinking about his
treatment of religion as a political phenomenon and the
political dimensions of his engagement with Christian
doctrines and their history. The chapters investigate his
strategies for showing how his provocative political
positions could be accepted by different religious
audiences for whom fidelity to religious texts was of
crucial importance, while also considering the legacy of
his ideas and examining their relevance for contemporary
concerns. Some chapters do so by pursuing mainly
historical inquiries about the motives and circumstances
of Hobbes's writings, while others reconstruct the logic
of his arguments and test their philosophical coherence.
They thus offer wide-ranging and sometimes conflicting
assessments of Hobbes's ideas, yet they all demonstrate
how closely intertwined his political and religious
preoccupations are and thereby showcase how this
perspective can help us to better understand his thought."
