Title
Curiosity and fear transformed : from religious to religion in Thomas Hobbes's Leviathan
Author
Abstract
Thomas Hobbes transforms fear and curiosity from primarily theological to anthropological concerns. Fear and curiosity go from being, most centrally, part of religiousness, or part of worship of God, to part of the explanation for why we are talking about God at all. This transformation is some evidence for a greater naturalizing trend, a more explicit connection of religion to human passions and psychology, and a shift in approaches to understanding religion, including a turn to a more scientific perspective on religion.
