Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes
2.0
Bleh and double bleh. Two stars only because of its political and social importance.
Problems:
1. Degree of moral relativism.
2. Representative of commonwealth > Individual
3. No ultimate purpose for life. (Bah humbug!)
4. Can be used to support absolute rule.
I hate Hobbes, but perhaps "hate" is the wrong word. To speak in Hobbes' manner, maybe I should use "contempt," as I am quite neutral toward his philosophy as a whole. Okay, then, I have contempt for Hobbes. Here's two instead of one stars for you, then, Mr. Hobbes. The best thing you did was turn into a big orange tiger.
