"The English Works of Thomas Hobbes of Malmesbury, Volume 04 (of 11)" by Hobbes is a collection of philosophical writings likely authored during the 17th century. This volume includes discussions on human nature, political theory, and the foundations of law and ethics, exploring the complexities of human motivation and the social contract. It aims to analyze the faculties, actions, and passions of the human soul, building a framework for understanding governance and individual behavior. At the start of this volume, Hobbes introduces his examination of human nature, asserting that understanding human motivations is foundational for political philosophy. He emphasizes the necessity of grasping basic principles of natural and political law before delving deeper into the complexities of societal relationships. The initial chapters outline the essential faculties of the body and mind, such as cognition and imagination, setting the stage for exploring how these elements interact to shape human behavior and societal structures. Hobbes’ meticulous and methodical approach seeks to clarify misconceptions prevalent in previous philosophical writings, striving for a clear and rational basis in the discourse surrounding human nature and political order.
