Description:
A good clean copy of "Leviathan", by Thomas Hobbes, published by Penguin Books in 1985. The Leviathan is the vast unity of the State. Written during the turmoil of the Civil War, Leviathan was, in Hobbes's lifetime, publicly burnt and even condemned in Parliament as one of the causes of the Great Fire of London! It's appeal to the twenty first century lies not just in its elevation of politics to a science, but in its overriding concern for peace. Its argument that the state of nature, in which life is "nasty, brutish and short" {and patriarchal}, is important, but so too is its systematic analysis of power, and its convincing apologia for the then emergent market society in which we still live.
