EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679), English Philosopher: Advocate of Despotism Thomas Hobbes, born on April 5, 1588, was a renowned English philosopher, best known for his groundbreaking works in political theory and ethics. This photograph print showcases a portrait of Hobbes, displaying his thoughtful and introspective expression, reflecting the depth and complexity of his intellectual pursuits. The Opera Philosophica, an edition of the complete works by Hobbes, is carried in this image. Published posthumously, this comprehensive collection of his writings is a testament to Hobbes' significant contributions to Western thought. His most famous works, "Leviathan" and "De Cive," advocated for a strong centralized government, earning him the reputation as an advocate of despotism. Born in Malmesbury, Wiltshire, England, Hobbes was educated at the University of Oxford. His philosophical views, which challenged the established religious and political norms of his time, often put him at odds with the authorities. Despite this, Hobbes continued to write and publish, making influential contributions to the fields of philosophy, political theory, and ethics. Hobbes' ideas on human nature, the social contract, and the role of government continue to shape contemporary political discourse. His belief in the need for a strong, centralized authority to maintain order and protect individual rights remains a topic of ongoing debate among scholars and policymakers. This photograph print offers a glimpse into the life and legacy of Thomas Hobbes, an English philosopher whose ideas continue to shape our understanding of politics, ethics, and human nature.
