Thomas Hobbes
Des Engländers Thomas Hobbes Leviathan, Cder, Der Kirchliche Und Bürgerliche Staat ... Erster Band, published in 1794, presents a German translation of Thomas Hobbes’s seminal work, ’Leviathan.’ This edition offers readers access to Hobbes’s foundational treatise on political philosophy, exploring the nature of the state, sovereignty, and the social contract. Hobbes’s theories on the relationship between the individual and the state, and his arguments for a strong central authority, remain profoundly influential. This translation invites German-speaking audiences to engage with Hobbes’s ideas on order, governance, and the fundamental principles underpinning civil society, capturing the intellectual climate of the late 18th century and providing valuable insights into the development of political thought.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
