Blurb: “From the turmoil of the English Civil War, when life was truly 'nasty, brutish, and short', Hobbes's Leviathan (1651) speaks directly to the twentieth century. In its over-riding concern for peace, its systematic analysis of power and its elevation of politics to the status of a science, it mirrors much modern thinking. And despite its contemporary notoriety - Pepys called it'a book the Bishops will not let be printed again' - it was also, as Dr Macpherson shows, a convincing apologia for the emergent seventeenth-century market society.”
