Description

Expand your understanding of political philosophy with this scholarly work from Brill. The Elements of Representation in Hobbes explores the complex connections between aesthetics, theatre, law, and theology within the construction of Hobbes's theory of the state. Traditional scholarship often views Hobbes's concept of representation as a narrow, isolated part of his political theory. This book challenges those long-held views. Monica Brito Vieira provides an original analysis that looks beyond contemporary preconceptions of political thinking. By examining neglected parts of Hobbes's theory, the author connects representation to a much broader pattern of how Hobbes viewed human thought and action. This text investigates how humans interact with various images, roles, and fictions. It is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the history of political thought and the Renaissance era. This volume offers a fresh perspective on how Hobbes built his foundational theories regarding the state and human behavior.
