Description

This Norton Critical Edition includes: The complete text of Leviathan, one of the most important works of political philosophy ever written, carefully—and faithfully—edited for 21st-century readers. Spelling and punctuation have been thoughtfully modernized, and all archaic terms have been footnoted. The result is the most accessible edition of Leviathan available. Essential background material, including Pierre Bayle’s biographical assessment, Hobbes’s response to criticism of Leviathan, and a selection of key critiques. Six major critical interpretations by Kinch Hoekstra, Eleanor Curran, Teresa M. Bejan, Quentin Skinner, Arash Abizadeh, and Jane S. Jacquette. A select glossary of words, a select glossary of proper names, a bibliography, and a note on the text.
