THOMAS HOBBS
This page reserved for questioning the motives and/or impact
of Thomas Hobbs' LEVIATHAN (1651). Just to pique interest, for now,
it is my observation that Hobbs' intention was to vanguard the
Restoration in England; not to blueprint a congressional or
parlimentary style of government. I noticed this solely in the flow
and content of his Leviathan, knowing nothing about his private affairs
or confederations. I do not, however, belive that this "conspiracy to
restore the throne" was Hobbs' invention. Judging his basic nature by
his metod of writing, I believe that Hobbs was a very intellectual man
who relished his aristocratic benefactors and, in turn, was persuaded
to write PR for Georgie.
