Essential background material, including Pierre Bayle's biographical assessment, Hobbes's response to criticism of Leviathan and a selection of key critiques.
Six major critical interpretations by Kinch Hoekstra, Eleanor Curran, Teresa M. Bejan, Quentin Skinner, Arash Abizadeh and Jane S. Jacquette.
