Leviathan

Thomas Hobbes's Leviathan stands as a cornerstone of Western political thought, addressing essential themes such as the nature of the state, human nature and politics, natural rights, and the justification of authority. Written during a tumultuous period of civil war and upheaval, this philosophical work has profoundly influenced diverse political ideologies since its publication. This new edition, meticulously curated by Noel Malcolm over two decades, presents a definitive text that includes significant revisions from Hobbes's later Latin translation, making it a vital resource for understanding these enduring concepts.
