In einer von konfessionellen Bürgerkriegen geprägten Zeit entwickelt Hobbes seine Theorie vom Leviathan, dem souveränen Staat, dessen Aufgabe in der Verhinderung des menschlichen Naturzustandes des Kampfes aller gegen alle besteht. Die Freiheit des Menschen zu Gut und Böse verwirklicht sich in der Einschränkung dieser Freiheit durch die gemeinsame vertragliche Unterwerfung unter den Souverän Staat. Dieses "Herrschaftsverhältnis ist seitens der Vertragschließenden, die damit zu 'Bürgern' werden, unkündbar." Durch den unaufhebbaren Gegensatz zwischen dem nach der Verwirklichung seiner Freiheit strebenden Untertan und dem mit der Verhinderung des "Naturzustandes" beauftragten Staat ist "Politik als Herrschaftsverhältnis ein Existential, eine Bedingung für die Existenz des Menschen überhaupt". Dies gilt für moderne Ideologien ebenso wie für die von Bürgerkriegen gekennzeichnete Zeit von Hobbes. (RB)

Si tratta di una bibliografia su Hobbes che si propone di contribuire a fornire un agile strumento di ricerca per quanti siano interessati agli studi hobbesiani. Aver scelto questo autore che si è occupato di argomenti così diversificati, ha reso il percorso intrapreso non sempre semplice e lineare per la mole di bibliografia esistente a riguardo: in qesto repertorio perciò sono state accantonate volutamente, una serie di informazioni. Sono state di proposito tralasciate le citazioni delle opere che possano rientrare nella categoria di manuali o sommari di Storia del pensiero politico, sono state escluse, allo stesso modo, le traduzioni delle opere di Hobbes, con qualche rara eccezione.

Thomas Hobbes was one of the most important and influential philosophers of the seventeenth century. Covering all the key concepts of his work, Starting with Hobbes provides an accessible introduction to the ideas of this hugely significant thinker. Thematically structured, this book leads the reader through the full range of Hobbes's ideas and, uniquely, not just his political philosophy. In his day, he was internationally as famous for his theories about knowledge, language, the material nature of reality, mathematics, psychology, and religion, as he was for his politics; and these aspects o

As well as being considered the greatest English political philosopher, Hobbes has traditionally been thought of as a purely secular thinker, highly critical of all religion. In this provocative new study, Professor Martinich argues that conventional wisdom has been misled. In fact, he shows that religious concerns pervade Leviathan and that Hobbes was really intent on providing a rational defense of the Calvinistic Church of England that flourished under the reign of James I. Professor Martinich presents a close reading of Leviathan in which he shows that, for Hobbes, Christian doctrine is not politically destabilizing and is consistent with modern science
