Talking Wolves: Thomas Hobbes on the Language of Politics and the Politics of Language (Synthese Library) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Talking Wolves advances an analysis of Hobbes which takes language seriously (as seriously as Hobbes took it). It presents a reading of Hobbes's view of society at large, and political society in particular, through a comprehensive discussion based on, and intimately linked to, his philosophy of language. This philosophy, in turn, is seen in a new light as being a pragmatic theory of language in use, language in action.
