Description
This edition of Leviathan is intended to provide the reader with a modestly abridged text that is straightforward and accessible, while preserving Hobbes' main lines of argument and thought.
It is meant for those who wish to focus primarily on the philosophical aspects of the work, apart from its stylish but often daunting early modern prose. The editors have updated language, style, punctuation, and grammar throughout.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
This modernised edition is praised for making Hobbes' text highly accessible, especially for first-time readers. The editors' 'translation' respects the original spirit and meaning, while extensive and informative footnotes provide valuable context and clarification throughout. Chapter introductions effectively clarify individual purposes and link arguments, enhancing comprehension. Educators find this edition particularly useful for its clarity and approachability.
