Mintz examines the contemporary reaction in England to the "Monster of Malmesbury," with a particular focus on his materialism and moral philosophy. He argues that most scholars have ignored the contemporary reaction to Hobbes and thus have failed to realize the importance of the historical context against which the analysis of Hobbes's ideas can be measured.

This text examines the contemporary reaction in England to Thomas Hobbes, with a particular focus on his materialism and moral philosophy. It argues that most scholars have ignored this reaction to Hobbes and thus have failed to realize the importance of the historical context against which the analysis of Hobbes's ideas can be measured. The book includes discussion of Hobbes's relation to More, Cudworth, Bramhall and Glanvill, and a bibliography of anti-Hobbes works. The book is part of Thoemmes' "Key Texts" series which are facsimile paperback editions of books which have been unavailable. The series gives particular emphasis to less popularized works of major thinkers in the history of ideas. Classic monographs are also featured.

Thomas Hobbes 'the infamous author of Leviathan' is remembered chiefly for his political philosophy but his contemporaries were more concerned with the moral and materialistic views which formed the basis of his doctrines. He was a notable literary figure of his time, and his powerful and lucid style had its effect on all manner of arguments with his opponents. With Hobbes rationalism came into its own. Mintz, in examining these seventeenth-century reactions to Hobbes, sets him against his intellectual background and so gives an added dimension to his thought. Mintz succeeds in capturing the ideological excitement of the seventeenth-century critics and in reawakening the crucial issues which were at stake. His study has much to offer historians, philosophers and theologians, and anyone with a general interest in the man or his period.
