Submission and Subjection in Leviathan, 2015 Good Subjects in the Hobbesian Commonwealth
Langue : Anglais
Auteur : Byron M.
Leviathan invests the sovereign with nearly absolute power, and that vast sovereign has drawn the reader's eye for 350 years. Yet Hobbes has much to say about subjects as well, and he articulates a normative conception of a good subject.
