Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the intertwined ethical and political philosophy of Thomas Hobbes, an influential philosopher of the 17th century. In a time of great political upheaval, Hobbes developed a compelling perspective on the nature of humankind and the structure of society. Hobbes' unique ideas posit that humans are fundamentally self-interested and competitive, leading to a hypothetical state of nature characterized by constant conflict. This necessitates the creation of a Commonwealth, a political entity in which individuals voluntarily surrender some of their freedoms to a central authority in exchange for protection and stability. The sovereign power embodies the will of the people and possesses absolute authority to maintain order. Throughout the book, the author explores Hobbes' provocative notions of natural law, social contract, and the relationship between individual liberty and state authority. They delve into the influence of Hobbes' ideas on subsequent philosophical and political thought, highlighting his enduring contributions to our understanding of the complex interplay between ethics and politics.
