Description

'He that is to govern a whole Nation, must read inร‚himself, not this, or that particular man; but Man-kind.'Thomas Hobbes's Leviathanร‚is not just one of the greatest philosophicalร‚texts in the English language; it is one of the most important works in theร‚history of Western political thought. Almost every major tradition in theร‚centuries after Hobbes - from radical democracy to authoritarianism - hasร‚been influenced by its arguments. Written in exile in a period of dramaticร‚developments - civil war and regicide - Leviathanร‚is in some ways theร‚product of its own special circumstances. And yet, at the same time,ร‚it deals with fundamental issues that matter to all of us today: the natureร‚and purpose of the state, the relation between human nature and politics,ร‚the idea of natural rights, the justification of authority, the concept ofร‚representation, the nature of sovereignty, the limits of obedience, andร‚the relationship between religious obligations and human ones.This new edition offers a definitive text drawn from more than twentyร‚years of research by Noel Malcolm, including, in English translation, allร‚the most significant revisions made in Hobbes's later Latin translation of Leviathan, as well as extensive explanatory notes that elucidate Hobbes'sร‚language and identify the many Biblical, classical, and other allusionsร‚that are scattered through his text.
