It suggests that the virtues of the natural person holding the office of sovereign permeate Hobbess political philosophy, shaping both his theory of new foundations and his critiques of law and obligation. These aspects of Hobbess thought are novel to Leviathan, addressing shortcomings in his earlier works, Elements and De Cive, exposed by the civil wars and the regicide of Charles I. While novel, this book argues that they draw upon ancient political and philosophical ideas, particularly the enigmatic figure of the orator founder. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 622g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 161 x 241 x 23 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9789463728096\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Matthew Hoye","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":47425396343034,"sku":"9789463728096","price":126.88,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1750450100564_book_57e5e36a-11e6-443c-bba1-4c2bb009c3df.jpg?v=1750521018","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/sovereignty-as-a-vocation-in-hobbess-leviathan-new-foundations-statecraft-and-virtue-9789463728096","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
