The Prose Life
-
ed. J.C.A. Gaskin (Oxford)
-
An autobiography written several years before Hobbes's death recalls daily communication with Mersenne about this view of perception and the mechanical view of nature on which it was based. Hobbes writes in the third person: 'When he was staying in Paris, he began to investigate the principles of natural science. When he became aware of the variety of movement contained in the natural world, he first inquired as to the nature of these motions, to determine the ways in which they might effect the senses, the intellect, the imagination, together with the other natural properties. He communicated his findings on a daily basis to the Reverent Father Marin Mersenne, of the Order of the Minim Brothers, a scholar who was venerated as an outstanding exponent of all branches of philosophy.' Thomas Hobbes, 'The Prose Life', in The Elements of Law Natural and Politic, with Three Lives, ed. J.C.A. Gaskin (Oxford, 1994), p. 247.

One of Hobbes's earliest critics thought he was vulnerable on this score. See Dzelzainis, 'Hyde and Hobbes', p. 306: Hyde 'thought it entirely possible to mount a damaging assault on Hobbes based on the inconsistencies between Leviathan and earlier expositions of his political theory: "I dare say he will find somewhat in Mr Hobbs himself, I mean in his former Books, that contradicts what he sets forth in this, in that Part in which he takes himself to be the most exact, his beloved Philosophy"'.

Contexts for the Writing and Publication of Hobbes's Leviathan

Glenn Burgess, 'Contexts for the Writing and Publication of Hobbes's Leviathan', History of Political Thought, XI (1990), pp. 675-702, p. 690. (I disagree, however, with Burgess's characterization of the three 'strata' in Leviathan - aboriginal democracy; authorization and representation; and, lastly, the de facto defence of Engagement - since it appears to me that the first is not part of the work. My suspicion is that Hobbes's composition process is more complex than Burgess's schema suggests.) See, also, Jacquot and Jones, 'Introduction', p. 79: 'l'ouvrage ne résulte pas d'une rédaction continue, mais d'une juxtaposition, dans un certain ordre, de pages écrites à divers moments'.
