An Analysis of Thomas Hobbes's Leviathan

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Published in 1651, Leviathan examines where kings get their authority to rule and what they must, in turn, do for their people. Hobbes argues that kings do not have a divine right to hold power; they must earn it by keeping a â social contractâ with those they rule over and protect.
