A review by selaadin
Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes

4.0

I don't agree with many of Hobbes' views or proposals when it comes to what a civilisation should be like, but I do firmly believe that this is a great philosophical text to read to expand one's horizons in the area. I don't believe the language is too hard, and after you get through the first chapters where he just lists lots of terms and defines them convolutedly, it gets very interesting. The interwoven Christian ideology is absolutely fascinating for anyone who doesn't know it too well, which I didn't too much, though I wouldn't use this as a primary source to explain it; it's more of an interesting interpretation of it. But yes, definitely a very good read: long, but satisfying and interesting throughout!
