Hobbes's creativity
Hamilton, James Jay.

Hobbes's creativity[electronic resource] /by James J. Hamilton. - Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :2023. - 1 online resource (xiii, 258 p.) :ill., digital ;24 cm.

1 The Psychology of Creativity and Hobbes -- 2 Hobbes's Development, Personality, and Motivation -- 3 Cognition and the Passions -- 4 Moral Relativity and the Sovereign -- 5 The State of Nature -- 6 The Civil State and Popular Sovereignty -- 7 Hobbes's Creative Virtuosity.

This book approaches Hobbes's philosophy from a completely new perspective: his creativity. Creativity is the production of something which experts consider to be original, valuable and of high quality. James Hamilton explores Hobbes's 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 Hobbes's 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. James J. Hamilton served in the U.S. Foreign Service from 1979 to 2006. He received his Ph.D. in Political Science from Columbia University in 1978, and taught briefly at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN.
