Satire was core to the work of Thomas Hobbes although his critics also used it as a weapon to ridicule him. Condren uses Hobbes as an example to demonstrate that an examination of the persona is needed to advance our understanding of a writer's philosophy.

'Mr Condren's study will interest philosophers, historians and literary scholars with its impressive sweep, detail and theoretical sophistication.' The Scriblerian 'This book represents an intriguing attempt to reconceptualise the history of philosophy by linking it with the history of satire, particularly by seeking to do justice to the legacy of Lucian. In doing this, it presents a telling challenge to disciplinary boundaries.' Michael Hunter, Birkbeck, University of London 'offers useful insights into the context surrounding the reception of Hobbes's philosophy.' Journal of the History of Philosophy 'Condren has important things to say about avoiding anachronism in trying to comprehend how philosophy was perceived in the past.' Parergon
