Leviathan

The centuries-old debate about the nature of power between such classics of political thought as Machiavelli and Montesquieu, Hobbes and Schmitt, remains relevant today. To understand the subtleties and nuances of this conversation, one of the leading experts in political philosophy, Alexander Filippov, will help.
Readers of Thomas Hobbes' famous treatise "Leviathan" are still captivated by the image of the colossal "artificial man," the powerful Leviathan state, created by the author. The reader is offered an original version of the translation by A. Guterman from 1936, as well as a fragment from the 1868 edition, which was confiscated by the tsarist censorship at the time.
