Hobbes’s philosophical discourse is deconstructed as the interplay of the drama of individual behaviour as perceived by rational agents and the detached analysis of conflict by a political geometer . The author offers solutions to some long-standing problems in Hobbesian political philosophy (for example, the role of glory, Hobbes’ pessimism) and shows the consistency of Hobbes’ attempt to derive absolution as the only stable political association. Although based on extensive textual analysis of Hobbes’ works and correspondence, the text is an exercise in political philosophy that students should find iconoclastic and experts challenging.
