Book Synopsis Hobbes, the Scriblerians and the History of Philosophy by : Conal Condren
Book excerpt: Satire was core to the work of Thomas Hobbes although his critics also used it as a weapon to ridicule him. Condren uses Hobbes as an example to demonstrate that an examination of the persona is needed to advance our understanding of a writer's philosophy.
