Quentin Skinner offers a comprehensive reexamination of Hobbes' political theory, utilizing both manuscript and printed sources to unveil a new perspective on his intellectual evolution. The work highlights the transition from humanist to scientific thought in European moral and political philosophy. By contextualizing Hobbes' ideas within the framework of his humanist education, Skinner aims to reintegrate this complex philosopher into broader intellectual discussions, challenging the perception of his isolation in political theory.
