A review by noachoc
Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes

4.0

I guess we must have only read selections in college because I had no memory whatsoever of the entire last half. I'm sure it was the necessary rushing through of the first half (caused by seminar deadlines) that made me utterly miss how funny Hobbes is on occasion. I thoroughly enjoyed the re-read of the bits I remembered and the new reading of the bits I didn't. Did get the impression, though, that he was sucking up to QE1 a bit, especially with all the pope-hate.

Also pretty sure we didn't read the bits where he's hating on Aristotle. Those bits were extra fun.
