Focusing on Hobbes's theories, this book presents new interpretations of his concepts of freedom, agency, and morality, challenging traditional scholarship. It intricately weaves together his insights on civil society and human psychology to construct a comprehensive theory of agency. The exploration reveals that Hobbes's notion of freedom is more nuanced, addressing both internal and external factors of action, and advocating for autonomous rationality. Additionally, it assesses the implications of these ideas for modern political philosophy discussions.
