«Léviathan: Chapitres 13 à 17» is a selection from Thomas Hobbes's classic treatise on political philosophy, in a French-language paperback edition.
The text argues that the natural condition of mankind is a war of all against all, and that the way out is civil government and a sovereign state. The edition includes a dossier with key words, history of ideas, a portrait of the philosopher, and three questions on the human condition, war, and the state.
The volume belongs to the Folioplus philosophie collection, series «17e siècle»; the dossier is by Benoît Schneckenburger, the image reading by Christine Cadot, and the translation by Gérard Mairet.
With its didactic dossier, it is useful for philosophy students and for anyone seeking a first approach to modern political thought.
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.
