There exists no \"Hobbist\" school of thought; no new political order was inspired by Hobbesian precepts. Yet in \u003ci\u003eBehemoth Teaches Leviathan\u003c\/i\u003e Geoffrey M. Vaughan revisits \u003ci\u003eBehemoth\u003c\/i\u003e to reveal hitherto unexplored pedagogic purpose to Hobbes's political philosophy. The work demonstrates Hobbes's firm commitment to government and his attempts to create a system of political education to underpin his commitment to sovereignty. Vaughan explore Hobbes's political education in detail and in an epilogue considers the resurgence of political education in contemporary liberal theory. He discovers that contemporary political education has far more in common with Hobbes's system than it does with early liberalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Geoffrey M.
