      abstract = {This book approaches Hobbes's philosophy from a completely  new perspective: his creativity. Creativity is the  production of something which experts consider to be  original, valuable and of high quality. James Hamilton  explores Hobbes's creativity by focusing on his  development, personality, and motivation in the context of  his culture and environment, and on the ways in which he  thought creatively, as inferred from his writings.  Identification of the ideas which Hobbes drew upon is an  important part of the study for two reasons. First, they  are necessary to determine which of Hobbes's ideas and  theories are original and which are not. Second, analysis  of his creativity requires an understanding of the ideas  from which he drew. Hamilton concludes that Hobbes became a  great philosopher because of his creative virtuosity. James  J. Hamilton served in the U.S. Foreign Service from 1979 to  2006. He received his Ph.D. in Political Science from  Columbia University in 1978, and taught briefly at Purdue  University, West Lafayette, IN.},
