Thomas Hobbes, the greatest English political philosopher, argued that human beings needed government in order to save their lives from being “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.” They form governments by making a contract with each other to support a sovereign, to whom they give their right of governing themselves. In other words, government is artificial and not natural to human beings. Hobbes’s arguments are formidable, but often unacceptable. For example, few people believe Hobbes’s claim that the authority of their government is unlimited. Government needs to be limited in some way, such as a system of check and balances, to prevent tyranny. Identifying exactly where Hobbes went wrong is difficult, but also illuminates the truth about government.Hobbes’s Political Philosophy: Interpretation and Interpretations aims to clarify Hobbes’s positions by examining what Hobbes considered a science of politics, a set of timeless truths grounded in definitions. A.P. Martinich explains this science of politics, examining Hobbes’s views on the laws of nature, authorization and representation, sovereignty by acquisition, and others. He argues that in addition to the timeless science, Hobbes had two timebound projects.
