书籍简介

“想要统治整个国家的人，须从自身去理解，而不是从这个人或那个特定的人，而是从全人类去理解。”

托马斯·霍布斯的《利维坦》不仅是英语世界中伟大的哲学著作之一，也是西方政治思想史上重要的著作之一。霍布斯之后几个世纪，几乎所有主要思想传统——从激进民主到威权主义——都受到了其论点的影响。《利维坦》写于霍布斯流亡期间，正值内战和弑君的动荡时期，因此，它在某种程度上是其自身特殊环境的产物。

然而，与此同时，它探讨了我们今天所有人都关心的基本问题：国家的性质和目的、人性与政治的关系、自然权利的理念、代表制的概念、主权的本质、服从的限度。本书新版提供了诺埃尔·马尔科姆二十余年研究成果的专业文本，其英文译本涵盖了霍布斯后期拉丁文译本《利维坦》中所有重要的修订，以及详尽的注释，这些注释阐明了霍布斯的语言，并指出了散布于文本中的众多古典和其他典故。

'He that is to govern a whole Nation, must read inhimself, not this, or that particular man; but Man-kind.'

Thomas Hobbes's Leviathanis not just one of the greatest philosophicaltexts in the English language; it is one of the most important works in thehistory of Western political thought. Almost every major tradition in thecenturies after Hobbes - from radical democracy to authoritarianism - hasbeen influenced by its arguments. Written in exile in a period of dramaticdevelopments - civil war and regicide - Leviathanis in some ways theproduct of its own special circumstances.

And yet, at the same time,it deals with fundamental issues that matter to all of us today: the natureand purpose of the state, the relation between human nature and politics,the idea of natural rights, the concept ofrepresentation, the nature of sovereignty, the limits of obedience. This new edition offers a definitive text drawn from more than twentyyears of research by Noel Malcolm, including, in English translation, allthe most significant revisions made in Hobbes's later Latin translation of Leviathan, as well as extensive explanatory notes that elucidate Hobbes'slanguage and identify the many classical, and other allusionsthat are scattered through his text.
