It proposes that concerns over the virtues of the natural person bearing the office of the sovereign suffuse Hobbes's political philosophy, defining both his theory of new foundations and his critiques of law and obligation. These aspects of Hobbes's thought are new to \u003ci\u003eLeviathan\u003c\/i\u003e, as they respond to limitations in his early works in political theory, Elements and \u003ci\u003eDe Cive\u003c\/i\u003e--limitations made apparent by the civil wars and the regicide of Charles I. Though new, this book argues that they tap into ancient political and philosophical ideas, foremostly the variously celebrated, mystified, and maligned figure of the orator founder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matthew Hoye\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9463728090\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789463728096\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/11\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Matthew Hoye","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47965372055807,"sku":"9789463728096","price":154.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8dae650b-4d75-476e-b511-823b7409c0c0.jpg?v=1767280131","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sovereignty-as-a-vocation-in-matthew-hoye-9789463728096","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
