霍布斯(Thomas Hobbes, 1588-1679),英国人,他是西方最重要的政治哲学家之一,他对国家和法律的根本问题进行了精深的思考。主要著作有《利维坦》、《论公民》等。他的《利维坦》具有非凡的逻辑性和想像力,使政治哲学得到了一种逻辑严密的系统发挥,成为经世名著。
He that is to govern a whole nation, must read in himself, not this, or that particular man; but mankind. Leviathan is both a magnificent literary achievement and the greatest work of political philosophy in the English language. Permanently challenging, it has found new applications and new refutations in every generation. Hobbes argues that human beings are first and foremost concerned with their own individual desires and fears. He shows that a conflict of each against every man can only be avoided by the adoption of a compact to enforce peace. The compact involves giving up some of our natural freedom to a sovereign power which will enforce the laws of peace on all citizens. Hobbes also analyses the subversive forces - religion, ambition, private conscience - that threaten to destroy the body politic, Leviathan itself, and return us to the state of war. This new edition reproduces the first printed text, retaining the original punctuation but modernizing the spelling. It offers exceptionally thorough and useful annotation, an introduction that guides the reader through the complexities of Hobbes's arguments, and a substantial index.

人的本性是利己,所谓的利他来自两个原因:一是,如果你的利己行为伤害了他人的利益,会遭到他人的打击,这会导致利己的失败,所以有时候为了达到利己的目的,必须利他;二是,一个人利己的能力有限,团结了更多人就有更大的力量来实现利己。 国家和保险公司的性质有点像。我们...
评分今天翻了一下读书笔记,找到今年9月份的旧稿,时隔两个月后,读了些解读利维坦的文章和书籍,对本文越发不满意,尤其是最后一部分。现在删掉了一些文字,还有将近一万字,发出来给徐驭尧和刘晴过目一下,有时间重新写一篇。又:9月份的时候并不是很了解施特劳斯——当然现在也...

评分很惭愧我才看完这本震古烁今的政治哲学著作。作者托马斯 霍布斯生活在17世纪,出身贫寒,不过自幼聪颖好思考,去了一个大伯爵家当家庭教师,自此走入上流社会,与迄今仍然影响力很大的名流交往,这些人包括伽利略、培根、笛卡尔。他的一生是不断适应环境、力图生存的一生,曾在...
评分【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...
