Submission and Subjection in Leviathan

Good Subjects in the Hobbesian Commonwealth

Beschreibung

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.
