metadata.value: The article is devoted to the evolution of the concept of liberty in the political philosophy of Thomas
  Hobbes (1588–1679). The article shows the relation between the historical and ideological
  contexts of the appearance of the doctrine of the «Leviathan”. In particular, author connects the
  events of the English civil war, the ideological context of that time with the philosophy of Hobbes.
  A special emphasis is put on the evolution of argumentation of parliament proponents under the
  influence of Aristotelian philosophy perception, which created the ideological basis for the naturalistic
  and secular view on political life of the modernity, which came into being as a result of
  reconciliation of Aristotelian view on self-sufficient civil life with Augustinian concern about otherworldly
  life. Thee author considers Hobbes’s philosophy through the lens of the methodology
  of Cambridge school of intellectual history, which discovered ideological disputes and argumentation
  of Hobbes’s contemporaries. Philosophy of freedom in this context becomes the sticking
  point between Hobbes’s understanding of liberty as absence of external obstacles for motion and
  his ideological adversaries, who were influenced by the neo-roman concept of liberty. The author
  shows how the context was reflected in Hobbes’s doctrine of liberty, which was a response to
  the republican ideas of the Italian Renaissance, which brought a new theory of neo-roman liberty
  into the England of the XVII century, the central thesis of which was based on the idea that liberty
  within civil society is undermined by the simple presence of arbitrary will. The ideological dispute
  of Hobbes and his opponents formed basic elements of contemporary liberal vision of politics,
  the core of which directly relies on the doctrine of liberty which was initially formulated by Hobbes.
