SUMMARY:

The present dissertation investigates the importance of the passion of Glory and its main correlates (desire for power, pride, and vanity) in the development of Thomas Hobbes's political philosophy. This inquiry is conducted through an exegetical analysis of Glory, examining its conceptual evolution, its historical and religious inspiration – from which we extract the proximity of Glory to the biblical pride embodied in the mythological figures of Adam and Lucifer – and its political-philosophical significance, namely, its central role in creating a conflicted human condition and, more importantly, conducive to the emergence of rebellions. Therefore, two theses are defended in this dissertation: first, that the mentioned passion undergoes a substantial modification in its position throughout Hobbes's intellectual development, allowing the author to distance himself from the psychological egoism found in his early works; and second, that the philosopher, by establishing a connection between Glory and madness, crafted one of the earliest attempts to understand the psychology of popular uprisings.
