Description: Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes, Sir Noel Malcolm Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Hobbess Leviathan is one of the most important works in the history of Western political thought, and the issues it addresses are still fundamental to us all today. Publisher Description He that is to govern a whole Nation, must read inhimself, not this, or that particular man; but Man-kind. Thomas Hobbess Leviathanis not just one of the greatest philosophicaltexts in the English language; it is one of the most important works in thehistory of Western political thought. Almost every major tradition in thecenturies after Hobbes - from radical democracy to authoritarianism - hasbeen influenced by itsarguments. Written in exile in a period of dramaticdevelopments - civil war and regicide - Leviathanis in some ways theproduct of its own special circumstances. And yet, at the same time,it deals with fundamental issues thatmatter to all of us today: the natureand purpose of the state, the relation between human nature and politics,the idea of natural rights, the justification of authority, the concept ofrepresentation, the nature of sovereignty, the limits of obedience, andthe relationship between religious obligations and human ones.
