Focusing on Hobbes's political philosophy, this collection of essays spans a decade and primarily examines the English version of his seminal work, Leviathan. It includes a revised translation of the Latin Leviathan's Appendix and explores the interplay between Hobbes's religious ideas and his political theories. The essays challenge the use of Greek philosophy in interpreting Christianity, advocating for a scriptural approach that undermines any authority outside the civil sovereign. This intricate analysis reveals the complexities of Hobbes's thought during his exile and its implications for governance.
