Description

John Gray's The New Leviathans offers a fresh perspective on the world of the 2020s, drawing on a new reading of Thomas Hobbes' classic work. Published in 2024, this book challenges the liberal certainties that have shaped our understanding of politics and ethics.

Gray's meditation on historical and current folly is both fascinating and thought-provoking. He argues that a more self-aware, realistic, and disabused ethics may be needed to help us navigate the complexities of human nature. With its powerful insights, The New Leviathans is a compelling exploration of the nature of politics and morality.

Written by renowned philosopher John Gray, this book is a valuable contribution to ongoing debates about the role of reason and morality in politics. It is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in philosophy, politics, and the challenges facing our world today.
