Leviathan: or the matter, forme, and power of a common-wealth ecclesiasticall and civil series rethinking the western tradition

Hobbes's central argument - that human beings are first and foremost concerned with their own fears and desires, and that they must relinquish basic freedoms in order to maintain a peaceful society - has found new adherents and critics in every generation. This new edition, which uses modern text and relies onlarge-sheet copies from the 1651 Head version, includes interpretive essays by four leading Hobbes scholars: John Dunn, David Dyzenhaus, Elisabeth Ellis, and Bryan Garsten. Taken together with Ian Shapiro’s wide-ranging introduction,they provide fresh and varied interpretations of Leviathan for our time.
