Abstract
Hobbes makes a rigorous critical analysis of religion and tradition with particular reference to revealed religion, in the context of which his concern for the figure of the prophet emerges. Hobbes , in his research, focuses in particular on false prophets, contemporary to him, considering them one of the causes of political and religious seditions in the 17th century Commonwealth. He therefore seeks criteria for distinguishing between true and false prophets in an attempt to silence them. It is therefore appropriate to assess whether this objective can lead to innovative strategies that can guarantee a State of peace.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
