Book Synopsis
A detailed analysis of Hobbes’s political thought, one that shows how it rejected the older, religious tradition and paved the way to modern liberal thought.

Trade Review
"A brilliant and sustained reflection on Hobbes's philosophic, theological, and political-philosophic attempt to dispel the 'Kingdom of Darkness.' Stauffer clarifies and assesses the arguments that led Hobbes to his extraordinary and highly influential attempt to establish human society on a radically new, 'enlightened, ' secular basis. This is a vitally important book, not only for those who wish to understand the true relation between Hobbes's natural science and his political science but for anyone who wishes to understand the modern world."--Timothy Burns, Baylor University
