Thomas Hobbes is an English materialist philosopher who questioned the divine origin of man, challenging medieval scholasticism. For his views, he was repeatedly persecuted by the clergy - after the publication of the treatise "Leviathan", which proved the priority of the state over the church and it was likened to a biblical monster, acting as an earthly embodiment of the omnipotence of God, the philosopher was declared "atheist", and he was forced to hide in France .The new book of the Philosophy on the Fingers series includes not only Leviathan, the most famous work of Hobbes, but also the treatise On the Body - a detailed presentation of the thinker's views on the essence of man, as well as the essay Human Nature ”, written in the context of acute political contradictions, where Hobbes sets out to derive practical rules from the general principles of the knowledge of human nature, according to which people behave in society.All texts are provided with detailed comments and explanations by Natalia Pluzhnikova. p>Publisher's layout saved in a4.pdf format.
