Originally published in 1642, within Hobbes's project of gathering human knowledge into a system, and a direct precursor to Leviathan. In it he examines how human nature and the pact among men can ground a state, and determines the rights of states and the duties of subjects.
This edition includes translation and preface by Carlos Mellizo and belongs to the El Libro de Bolsillo-Humanidades collection.
For philosophy students and for those wishing to learn the foundations of Hobbes's political thought before tackling Leviathan.
Thomas Hobbes was an English philosopher and political theorist, best known for his 1651 book Leviathan, in which he expounds an influential formulation of social contract theory. He is considered to be one of the founders of modern political philosophy.
