Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Print on Demand. This book is an examination of various social and political theories largely as they were conceived during the 17th century, particularly those pertaining to power, sovereignty, and religion. The author dissects society as he sees it, including its foundational structures and dynamics, in an effort to build a theoretical framework for stable government. He was writing during a period of great upheaval in England, which had recently been wracked by civil war, and as such many of his ideas are shaped by his horror of strife. The author takes a somewhat absolutist position, advocating for a supreme power he equates with the biblical Leviathan, a massive biblical sea monster. He believed that only the establishment of such a power could prevent the descent into chaos he saw playing out around him. The book is both timely and timeless, an examination of government that is as applicable to its day as it is to ours. It is a work of great intellectual depth, from one of the most important philosophers of the 17th century, that offers valuable insights on the perennial questions of how societies are formed, organized, and kept in harmony. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
