SUMMARY:

Defined as the joy of perceiving one's own superiority, the passion of Glory is commonly regarded as a crucial element in the effort to understand human psychology as conceived by Thomas Hobbes. According to the author, it is precisely under its influence that individuals are depicted as insatiable and proud machines, driven solely by the desire to acquire power and reputation, as well as to dominate others. In this context, the present dissertation aims to provide an exegetical analysis of Glory within the Hobbesian system, exploring its definition, evolution, and manifestation within the human mind. To this end, the major works of the author are examined, from his early relevant writings to the fundamental transformation that occurs with the publication of Leviathan and De Homine. By highlighting the political and social centrality of this passion, the study seeks to understand its application to human groups within the historical-anthropological state of nature, investigating its effects across different contexts. This research aims to contribute to the understanding of Hobbes's thought by clarifying both the relevance of Glory within his system and, by extension, the importance of self-esteem and the desire for reputation in the sociopolitical sphere.
