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. He demonstrates that satire and philosophy were closely linked during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, offering a new perspective on the nature of philosophy during this period.
"'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.'"
