He that is to govern a whole nation, must read in himself, not this, or that particular man; but mankind. Leviathan is both a magnificent literary achievement and the greatest work of political philosophy in the English language. Permanently challenging, it has found new applications and new refutations in every generation. Hobbes argues that human beings are first and foremost concerned with their own individual desires and fears. He shows that a conflict of each against every man can only be avoided by the adoption of a compact to enforce peace. The compact involves giving up some of our natural freedom to a sovereign power which will enforce the laws of peace on all citizens. Hobbes also analyses the subversive forces - religion, ambition, private conscience - that threaten to destroy the body politic, Leviathan itself, and return us to the state of war. This new edition reproduces the first printed text, retaining the original punctuation but modernizing the spelling. It offers exceptionally thorough and useful annotation, an introduction that guides the reader through the complexities of Hobbes's arguments, and a substantial index.

霍布斯(Thomas Hobbes, 1588-1679),英国人,他是西方最重要的政治哲学家之一,他对国家和法律的根本问题进行了精深的思考。主要著作有《利维坦》、《论公民》等。他的《利维坦》具有非凡的逻辑性和想像力,使政治哲学得到了一种逻辑严密的系统发挥,成为经世名著。
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...
评分 评分 评分 评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...
so familiar (Plato and Augustine sounding)...the 3rd part unexamined (God's Kingdom)
评分霍布斯的主权理论实质上是反无政府主义的,于是他能够得到各个阵营的政治哲学家的一致认同,"monarchy....democracy...whereas the power in all forms, if they be perfect enough to protect them, is the same.",民主也可是威权主义的,只有“自由”站在霍布斯的反面。
