Description

Thomas Hobbes's Leviathan is a foundational work in Western political thought that has shaped major traditions in politics and philosophy. Written during a period of civil war and regicide, it addresses fundamental issues that remain relevant today, including the nature of the state, human nature and politics, natural rights, authority, representation, sovereignty, obedience, and the relationship between religious obligations and human ones. This new edition offers a definitive text drawn from over twenty years of research by Noel Malcolm, featuring an English translation of Hobbes's later Latin revisions, as well as explanatory notes that clarify Hobbes's language and identify allusions to Biblical, classical, and other sources. With its enduring influence on Western political thought, Leviathan remains a crucial work for anyone interested in understanding the foundations of politics and philosophy.
