Hobbes絕對是天纔。私以為Of Man比Of Common-wealth甚至更勝一籌,對詞的定義絕瞭。
評分給5星不是因為我同意他的觀點,而是從他那個時代來看這本書,真是大膽、創新。不過十七世紀的英語真是好纍啊朋友。Also, did Mao read this? 可怕。
評分Sovereign; natural state (evil and hostile); state of war;
評分封麵很有意思,真的很anti Aristotle。但同時methodology又還是很Aristotle啦。
評分讀瞭這麼半天,壓根就沒注意書名音譯過來就是利維坦…
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.

【按语:较之《论公民》,《利维坦》是一部宏大庞杂得多的著作:当有人常常在这里寻觅契约论的雏形,寻求对国家或主权的辩护时,另一些人可能会发现《利维坦》对基督教的理解在今天看来仍然是异端的甚至异教的、让人冒犯的,毫无灵性观念甚至到了粗俗的地步。 事实上,《利维...
評分今天,当我们谈到民主与专制时,恐怕没有人会怀疑两者孰优孰劣。似乎历史已经向我们证明了:专制是邪恶的、落后的、愚昧的象征,民主是正义的、先进的、智慧的象征,民主制度终将取代专制制度。 然而,这样的普世观念是我们自己认真思考后得出的结论吗?这其中是否掺杂有偏见?...
評分今天翻了一下读书笔记,找到今年9月份的旧稿,时隔两个月后,读了些解读利维坦的文章和书籍,对本文越发不满意,尤其是最后一部分。现在删掉了一些文字,还有将近一万字,发出来给徐驭尧和刘晴过目一下,有时间重新写一篇。又:9月份的时候并不是很了解施特劳斯——当然现在也...
評分昨天忽然想到了前一段时间读《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》时注意到的:《利维坦》中的某些话是直接从修昔底德那里抄来的。不加引号地引用别人的话这种事情霍布斯干得熟极而流,施特劳斯在《霍布斯的政治哲学》中指出了他对亚里士多德大段大段的“借鉴”。此外,我也曾挑出了他跟柏拉图...
