This is the first critical edition based on a full study of the manuscript and printing history. He contends that without the coercive power of the state, life would be "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." To prevent this, individuals must surrender some of their rights to the state in exchange for protection and security. Thomas Hobbes's Leviathan is one of the most important philosophical texts in the English language, and one of the most influential works of political philosophy ever written. In vivid and compelling prose, Hobbes lays out his theory of human nature and the role of government in regulating society. With its emphasis on the power of the sovereign, Leviathan has been both celebrated and reviled throughout history, and remains as relevant today as it was when first published. In this seminal text, Hobbes argues for the absolute sovereignty of the state and the need for a social contract to maintain order and prevent the chaos of the state of nature. Frontispiece of Thomas Hobbes’ Leviathan, by Abraham Bosse, with creative input from Thomas Hobbes, 1651 The famous frontispiece of Hobbes’s Leviathan was inspired by the anamorphic art form, which originated during the Renaissance and remained popular during Hobbes’s lifetime in the 17th century. Leviathan, the classic work of political philosophy by Thomas Hobbes, has been a cornerstone of Western thought for centuries. ![]() |
