{"product_id":"leviathan-thomas-hobbes-9781512244960","title":"Leviathan: Or the Matter, Forme, \u0026 Power of a Common-Wealth Ecclesiastical and Civill","description":"Leviathan is a seventeenth-century work on what the author felt was a good structure for society and legitimate government. The book was written during the English Civil War, and argues for a social contract between an absolute sovereign and the subjects of a commonwealth. While the work was written with the social structures of the time as influences, it also addresses many questions regarding the elements of the civil society that are still debated today. These include concepts of ex post facto law, fair tax structure, and the difference between natural law and civil law, among others. This book rightly ranks among the top treatises on government and statecraft in Western Civilization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Hobbes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1512244961\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781512244960\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.68d","brand":"Thomas Hobbes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939897639167,"sku":"9781512244960","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_64a202c3-a082-4e1d-ab45-dc016eb63ee9.jpg?v=1681444108","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/leviathan-thomas-hobbes-9781512244960","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
