DESCRIPTION:Histories of philosophy are largely trajectories of doctrine an
 d\nproposition leading to and judged by current standards of philosophical\
 npropriety\; in them\, the historical importance of the persona of the\nphi
 losopher in early modern debate has been largely overlooked as it is\nnot o
 vertly important now. One consequence of trying to render histories\nof phi
 losophy less anachronistic has been to uncover the significance of\nserio l
 audere satire in philosophy\, embracing argumentative reduction of\ndoctrin
 es and ad hominem denigration of the philosophers associated with\nthem.\n\
 nThis paper takes the case of Thomas Hobbes and the hostile reception of\nh
 is work and suggests that there were intelligible philosophical grounds\nfo
 r Hobbes and his critics to have been arguing in ways that now seem\nphilos
 ophically improper. The paradoxical consequence is that better\ncontextuali
 zation can make interpretation not less\, but more problematic\nthan is oft
 en thought.
