Leviathan pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) was born in Malmesbury. Entering Magdalen Hall, Oxford, in 1603, he took his degree in 1608 and became tutor to the eldest son of Lord Cavendish of Hardwick, afterwards the Earl of Devonshire; his connection with this family was life-long. His first interest was in the classics, and his first published work a translation of Thucydides, in 1628. An interest in science and philosophy soon developed, heightened by extended travels in Europe in 1629-31 and 1634-37. This led to his great project of a political science. His first verson of this, The Elements of Law, Natural and Politic, was privately circulated in 1640, when Parliament was hotly disputing the king’s powers, and Hobbes fled to Paris, where he stayed for eleven years.
A second version, De Cive, was published in 1642, and the third, Leviathan—the crowning achievement of his political science—in 1651. It was so influential that it came under widespread attack and was in danger of condemnation by the House of Commons. Hobbes perforce lived quietly and published little more on political matters. At the age of eighty-four he composed an autobiography in Latin verse, and within the next three years translated the whole of Homer’s Odyssey and Iliad.

“During the time men live without a common Power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called Warre”
Written during the turmoil of the English Civil War, Leviathan is an ambitious and highly original work of political philosophy. Claiming that man’s essential nature is competitive and selfish, Hobbes formulates the case for a powerful sovereign—or “Leviathan”—to enforce peace and the law, substituting security for the anarchic freedom he believed human beings would otherwise experience. This worldview shocked many of Hobbes’s contemporaries, and his work was publicly burnt for sedition and blasphemy when it was first published. But in his rejection of Aristotle’s view of man as a naturally social being, and in his painstaking analysis of the ways in which society can and should function, Hobbes opened up a whole new world of political science.
Based on the original 1651 text, this edition incorporates Hobbes’s own corrections, while also retaining the original spelling and punctuation, to read with vividness and clarity. C. B. Macpherson’s introduction elucidates one of the most fascinating works of modern philosophy for the general reader.

读后感
【按语：较之《论公民》，《利维坦》是一部宏大庞杂得多的著作：当有人常常在这里寻觅契约论的雏形，寻求对国家或主权的辩护时，另一些人可能会发现《利维坦》对基督教的理解在今天看来仍然是异端的甚至异教的、让人冒犯的，毫无灵性观念甚至到了粗俗的地步。 事实上，《利维...
评分在第三十二章“论基督教体系的政治原理”中，霍布斯首先强调自然理性是上帝的传谕之道的一部分，而传谕之道中的其他部分——超乎理性的东西——尽管无法被自然理性证明或证伪，但其实本质上与自然理性之间不存在冲突。超越理性的东西与理性的东西之间的看似矛盾，只可能是因为...

太厉害了 legal theory值得好好反复看
评分And how is he desperate yet hopeful about human condition all the times, how his agony and conflicts show from these letters.
评分Hobbes绝对是天才。私以为Of Man比Of Common-wealth甚至更胜一筹，对词的定义绝了。
评分读了这么半天，压根就没注意书名音译过来就是利维坦…
评分给5星不是因为我同意他的观点，而是从他那个时代来看这本书，真是大胆、创新。不过十七世纪的英语真是好累啊朋友。Also, did Mao read this? 可怕。
