Sinopse

This book approaches HobbesâÇÖs philosophy from a completely new perspective: his creativity.áCreativity is the production of something which experts consider to be original, valuable and of high quality.áJames Hamilton explores HobbesâÇÖs creativity by focusing on his development, personality, and motivation in the context of his culture and environment, and on the ways in which he thought creatively, as inferred from his writings. Identification of the ideas which Hobbes drew upon is an important part of the study for two reasons. First, they are necessary to determine which of HobbesâÇÖs ideas and theories are original and which are not. Second, analysis of his creativity requires an understanding of the ideas from which he drew. Hamilton concludes that Hobbes became a great philosopher because of his creative virtuosity.
