Description
Thomas Hobbes' 1651 treatise on government is a seminal work in modern thought and political philosophy. In Leviathan, he presents a novel approach to understanding monarchical government, basing his arguments on reason alone rather than Christian theology. This bold move was particularly significant at the time of its publication, when England was experiencing intense political turmoil. Hobbes' closely-reasoned arguments made Leviathan a controversial and influential work across Europe. His ideas about human nature and the role of government have had a lasting impact on political theory, shaping modern liberal ideas of governance. This edition provides an opportunity to explore Hobbes' thought-provoking ideas in detail. Leviathan remains an important work in the history of political philosophy, offering insights into the development of modern political thought.
