Hobbes and Historiography: Why the Future, He Says, Does Not Exist
In G. A. John Rogers & Thomas Sorell, Hobbes and History. New York: Routledge. pp. 44--72 (2012)
Abstract
Hobbes's interest in the power of the Image was programmatic, as suggested by his shifts from optics, to sensationalist psychology, to the strategic use of classical history, exemplified by Thucydides and Homer. It put a great resource at the disposal of the state-propaganda machine, with application to the question of state-management and crowd control.Author's Profile
