"The English Works of Thomas Hobbes of Malmesbury, Volume 01 (of 11)" by Hobbes is a philosophical treatise composed in the early 19th century. This collection includes the seminal writings of Thomas Hobbes, dealing primarily with subjects of natural philosophy, logic, and metaphysics. The volume is significant for its exploration of the fundamental principles of philosophy and the nature of human understanding, establishing Hobbes's perspective as a critical and original thinker in the history of Western philosophy. The opening of the volume begins with a transcriber’s note and a dedication by Sir William Molesworth, explaining the importance of the work and its editor's intentions to make Hobbes's writings more accessible to the public. It includes an authorial preface that outlines Hobbes's aims—specifically the need to clarify and systematize the foundations of philosophy, which he believes have been obscured by ungrounded notions and metaphysics. He emphasizes the importance of rational thought and logical method, presenting philosophy as a pursuit of clarity and truth in understanding the world and human nature. The text is structured into distinct sections, beginning with chapters on philosophy itself, moving into definitions of names, propositions, and syllogisms, establishing a comprehensive framework for philosophical inquiry.
