The Political Works of Thomas Hobbes (4 Books in One Edition) : Leviathan, On the Citizen, The Elements of Law & Behemoth: The Long Parliament

The Political Works of Thomas Hobbes, compiled into a single authoritative edition, delves into the foundational texts that shaped modern political philosophy. This compilation includes seminal works such as "Leviathan," where Hobbes presents his views on human nature, the social contract, and absolute sovereignty, characterized by his distinctively stark and rigorous prose. Hobbes writes with an unwavering clarity, employing a methodical structure that aims to dismantle the chaotic assumptions of human nature and propose a new political order grounded in rational self-interest. His ideas resonate within the broader context of the tumultuous 17th-century political landscape, reflecting concerns over civil war and authority that still echo in contemporary discussions of governance and society. Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679), a contemporary of both the English Civil War and the scientific revolution, faced profound uncertainties that undoubtedly influenced his philosophical inquiries. His experiences of conflict led him to advocate for strong centralized authority as a means of ensuring peace and stability. A student of mathematics and natural philosophy, Hobbes's interdisciplinary approach sought to ground political theory in the principles of science and reason, making his insights both radical and transformative for his time. This edition of The Political Works of Thomas Hobbes is essential for any reader interested in political theory, philosophy, or the history of ideas. It invites contemporary scholars and general readers alike to engage with Hobbes'Äôs arguments about human nature, the justification of political power, and the implications for individual freedoms. As we navigate today's complex political landscape, Hobbes's insights remain as relevant as ever, challenging us to reckon with the balance between authority and liberty.
