A discussion community about Thomas Hobbes and his times.
This is the place to discuss all matters pertaining to Thomas Hobbes. Quotations from works by Hobbes or relevant commentators are welcome. If you're interested in Hobbes, or if you consider yourself a Hobbesian (by whatever standard), or if you're interested in the English Civil War or the Scientific Revolution (with which Hobbes was contemporaneous), then please feel welcome to join and comment.
