Viewing politics as a science capable of the same axiomatic approach as mathematics Thomas Hobbes's Leviathan retains its appeal for the modern reader not just in its elevation of politics to a science but in its overriding concern for peace This Penguin Classics edition is edited with an introduction by CB Macpherson Written during the turmoil of the English Civil War Leviathan is an ambitious & highly original work of political philosophy Claiming that man's essential nature is competitive & selfish Hobbes formulates the case for a powerful sovereign or ' Leviathan' to enforce peace & the law substituting security for the 'solitary poor nasty brutish & short' life he believed human beings would otherwise experience This world view shocked many of Hobbes's contemporaries & his work was publicly burnt for sedition & blasphemy when it was first published But in his rejection of Aristotle's view of man as a naturally social being & in his painstaking analysis of the ways in which society can & should function Hobbes opened up a new world of political science Based on the original 1651 text this edition incorporates Hobbes's own corrections while also retaining the original spelling & punctuation & reads with vividness & clarity CB Macpherson's introduction elucidates for the general reader one of the most fascinating works of modern philosophy Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) was an English philosopher & political theorist one of the first modern Western thinkers to provide a secular justification for the political state Regarded as an important early influence on the philosophical doctrine of utilitarianism Hobbes also contributed to modern psychology & laid the foundations of modern sociology If you enjoyed Leviathan you might enjoy Plato's Republic also available in Penguin Classics ...

With an Introduction by Dr Richard Serjeantson Trinity College Cambridge Since its first publication in 1651 Thomas Hobbes's Leviathan has been recognised as one of the most compelling & most controversial works of political philosophy written in English Forged in the crucible of the civil & religious warfare of the mid-seventeenth century it proposes a political theory that combines an unequivocal commitment to natural human liberty with the conviction that the sovereign power of government must be exercised absolutely Leviathan begins from some shockingly naturalistic starting-points an analysis of human nature as being motivated by vain-glory & pride & a vision of religion as simply the fear of invisible powers made up by the mind Yet from these deliberately unpromising elements Hobbes constructs with unparalleled forcefulness an elaborate systematic & comprehensive account of how political society ought to be ordered law-bound peaceful In Leviathan Hobbes presents us with a portrait of politics which depicts how a state that is made up of the unified body of all its citizens will be powerful fruitful protective of each of its members &
- above all
- free from internal violence
