Leviathan

Leviathan pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025

Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) was born in Malmesbury. Entering Magdalen Hall, Oxford, in 1603, he took his degree in 1608 and became tutor to the eldest son of Lord Cavendish of Hardwick, afterwards the Earl of Devonshire; his connection with this family was life-long. His first interest was in the classics, and his first published work a translation of Thucydides, in 1628. An interest in science and philosophy soon developed, heightened by extended travels in Europe in 1629-31 and 1634-37. This led to his great project of a political science. His first verson of this, The Elements of Law, Natural and Politic, was privately circulated in 1640, when Parliament was hotly disputing the king’s powers, and Hobbes fled to Paris, where he stayed for eleven years.

A second version, De Cive, was published in 1642, and the third, Leviathan—the crowning achievement of his political science—in 1651. It was so influential that it came under widespread attack and was in danger of condemnation by the House of Commons. Hobbes perforce lived quietly and published little more on political matters. At the age of eighty-four he composed an autobiography in Latin verse, and within the next three years translated the whole of Homer’s Odyssey and Iliad.

“During the time men live without a common Power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called Warre”

Written during the turmoil of the English Civil War, Leviathan is an ambitious and highly original work of political philosophy. Claiming that man’s essential nature is competitive and selfish, Hobbes formulates the case for a powerful sovereign—or “Leviathan”—to enforce peace and the law, substituting security for the anarchic freedom he believed human beings would otherwise experience. This worldview shocked many of Hobbes’s contemporaries, and his work was publicly burnt for sedition and blasphemy when it was first published. But in his rejection of Aristotle’s view of man as a naturally social being, and in his painstaking analysis of the ways in which society can and should function, Hobbes opened up a whole new world of political science.

Based on the original 1651 text, this edition incorporates Hobbes’s own corrections, while also retaining the original spelling and punctuation, to read with vividness and clarity. C. B. Macpherson’s introduction elucidates one of the most fascinating works of modern philosophy for the general reader.

读后感

很惭愧我才看完这本震古烁今的政治哲学著作。作者托马斯 霍布斯生活在17世纪,出身贫寒,不过自幼聪颖好思考,去了一个大伯爵家当家庭教师,自此走入上流社会,与迄今仍然影响力很大的名流交往,这些人包括伽利略、培根、笛卡尔。他的一生是不断适应环境、力图生存的一生,曾在...

在第三十二章“论基督教体系的政治原理”中,霍布斯首先强调自然理性是上帝的传谕之道的一部分,而传谕之道中的其他部分——超乎理性的东西——尽管无法被自然理性证明或证伪,但其实本质上与自然理性之间不存在冲突。超越理性的东西与理性的东西之间的看似矛盾,只可能是因为...

罗马法规定,有一种罪人,叫做“神圣的人”,其特点在于: (1)他不可被用来祭祀, (2)人人可以杀死他而不被判处谋杀。 其中(1)表明他是神法的例外,(2)表明他是人法的例外。 在古罗马,人法和神法是相互联系在一起的。在人法中处死一个人,必然是作为给神的献祭的,...

没看原著之前,在一些材料那里了解到,霍布斯主张人性本恶,在没有国家维持秩序之前的“自然状态”里,“人对人是狼”,什么规则都没有,只有弱肉强食,丛林法则。当时我想,霍布斯究竟多弱智才会把人类描述得如此猪狗不如,要知道自然界中最凶残的动物都不至于会与同类处在长...

人的本性是利己,所谓的利他来自两个原因:一是,如果你的利己行为伤害了他人的利益,会遭到他人的打击,这会导致利己的失败,所以有时候为了达到利己的目的,必须利他;二是,一个人利己的能力有限,团结了更多人就有更大的力量来实现利己。 国家和保险公司的性质有点像。我们...

两天读完英文版利维坦以及论人类不平等的起源和基础第一部分。这在豆瓣是什么水平?

Hobbes绝对是天才。私以为Of Man比Of Common-wealth甚至更胜一筹,对词的定义绝了。

给5星不是因为我同意他的观点,而是从他那个时代来看这本书,真是大胆、创新。不过十七世纪的英语真是好累啊朋友。Also, did Mao read this? 可怕。
