Leviathan

內容簡介

內容簡介 《利維坦》全書分為四部分，分別為〈論人類〉、〈論國家〉、〈論基督教體系的國家〉，以及〈論黑暗之國（Kingdom of Darkness）〉。書中霍布斯陳述他對社會基礎與政府合法性的看法。在人類的自然狀態下，有一些人可能比別人更強壯或更聰明，但沒有一個人會強壯到或聰明到不怕在暴力下死亡。當受到死亡威脅時，在自然狀態下的人必然會盡一切所能來保護他自己。霍布斯認為保護自己免於暴力死亡就是人類最高的必要，而權力就是來自於必要。霍布斯認為社會要和平就必需要有社會契約。社會是一群人在一個威權之下，而每個人都將所有的自然權力交付給這威權，讓它來維持內部和平和進行外部防禦，只保留自己免於一死的權力。這個主權，無論是君主制、貴族制或民主制（霍布斯較中意君主制），都必須是一個「利維坦」，一個絕對的威權。本中文書介出自《利維坦》五南圖書出版股份有限公司出版Carefully and faithfully edited by "one of our most astute commentators on Hobbes's political theory " (Jeremy Waldron), the Norton Library edition of Leviathan features the complete text of the work, with spelling and punctuation thoughtfully modernised and archaic terms helpfully annotated throughout.
