Written in a time of great political turmoil (Hobbes' life spanned the reign of Charles I, the Civil Wars, the Commonwealth and the Protectorate, and the Restoration), Leviathan is an argument for obedience to authority grounded in an analysis of human nature. Since its first publication in 1991 Richard Tuck's edition of Leviathan has been recognised as the single most accurate and authoritative text, and for this revised edition Professor Tuck has provided a much amplified and expanded introduction, which will provide students unfamiliar with Hobbes with a cogent and accessible introduction to this most challenging of texts. Other vital aids to study include an extensive guide to further reading, a note on textual matters, a chronology of important events and brief biographies of important persons mentioned in Hobbes' text.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e A note on the text\u003cbr\u003e Principal events in Hobbes' life\u003cbr\u003e Further reading\u003cbr\u003e Biographical synopses\u003cbr\u003e Leviathan\u003cbr\u003e The Epistle Dedicatory\u003cbr\u003e The contents of the chapters\u003cbr\u003e The introduction\u003cbr\u003e The text: Chapters 1-47\u003cbr\u003e A review and conclusion\u003cbr\u003e Indexes.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: History of ideas [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History of ideas\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History%20of%20ideas%20%5BJFCX%5D%22\"\u003eJFCX\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45999540994328,"sku":"9780521567978","price":19.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521567978i_cb24f37a-7d53-4d64-aa09-d1fdc4f832cc.jpg?v=1691369872","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/hobbes-leviathan-revised-student-edition-paperback-9780521567978","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
