Leviathan

by Thomas Hobbs

Leviathanb The birth of a powerful nation through social contracts. Freedom and peace through submission . Through this book, Hobbes advocated natural rights, maintained an individualistic perspective, talked about the establishment of state by contract, and founded social contract theory, which had a great influence on legal and political thought. However, Hobbes survival evaluation of the book was severely hostile. Leviadon is described in the Old Testament as a terrible being who fires his mouth and smokes his nostrils in Job 41. Hobbes likened this powerful monster Leviathan to the nation. On the cover of Leviathan, published in 1651, Leviathan, at the top of the cover, symbolized a huge figure made up of small humans with a knife and a cane in both hands. 17th century Hobbes Leviathan, which contains thoughts, is a huge source of nuclear power, and the first and second parts of humans and nations are similar to the third and fourth parts of religion. However, part 3 and 4 dealing with religious issues have long been debated in relation to the contemporary situation, and the West Sea classic Leviathan, which emphasizes the present-day classics, focuses on Hobbes human and state views and translates them. This is because the process of deriving meaningful social contract theory is shown in the first and second parts. There is also an explanation of the unfamiliar ancient and medieval figures and backgrounds of the times, which help to make sense of it. Pleasant to see the paintings of famous artists, not only the portraits of Hobbes, Breugels `` Death Victory , Albrecht Durers `` Depression , Jakob Jordans Bound Prometheus, Theodor Jericos `` Medusa Lakes Raft , and Eugen Delacroixs Goddess of Liberty. The painting softens the atmosphere of the hard philosophical book and adds interest.
