About Multitude in Motion Re-Readings on the Political Philosophy of Thomas Hobbes
<p><span> </span>The present study examines the fundamentally intertwined relation of the concepts of motion and multitude in Thomas Hobbes’s political philosophy. The concept of motion was, as it has been widely recognized in previous research, a basis for Hobbes’s philosophy. Yet, its political nature has not been fully examined before.</p><p>Furthermore, in recent decades the emphasis given to motion as a central concept in his political philosophy has diminished. On the other hand, the concept of multitude, which is usually understood as an apolitical concept, has been almost totally neglected in Hobbes scholarship. The aim of this research is to bring together these two concepts and show how the structure of Hobbes’s political philosophy depends on the interplay of these two. Thus, we claim that the most crucial problem that structured Hobbes’s political philosophy was the problem of multitude in motion.</p><p>Hobbes saw that multitude, that is, the unorganized, incoherent, anarchic, and constantly moving and changing mass of human beings was the greatest obstacle for the peaceful and organized political life in the commonwealth. The political problem of the unpredictable behaviour of crowds was already familiar to classical philosophers. Hobbes was, however, dissatisfied with the solutions offered to this fundamental question. In his philosophy he proposed a totally new way of understanding the action of human masses based on the analysis on motion and geometrical method. Hence, to understand how Hobbes applied the new theory of motion introduced by the scientific revolution to his political philosophy, we must see how Hobbes analysed and used the concept of multitude.</p><p>Through the analysis of Hobbes’s conception of multitude we enable critical re-readings of Hobbes’s political thought. We are interested in his conception of fear and its relation to the government of the state, in Hobbes’s contradictory relationship to democracy, in his distaste for revolution and finally in his vision of international relations. In general, the present research opens new ways of reading Hobbes’s political philosophy as a philosophy of motion.</p>
