Críticas:

The School of Life offers radical ways to help us raid the treasure trove of human knowledge.

There is a good deal to be learned from these little primers.

Thoroughly welcoming and approachable. If the six books in The School of Life can teach even a few readers to pay passionate heed to the world--to notice things--they will have been an unquestionable success.--John Banville

Reseña del editor:

Thomas Hobbes was an English philosopher who was roiled by the bloodshed and turmoil of the English Civil War. During this period of ceaseless in-fighting, he wrote his masterpiece, Leviathan, which established the foundation for Western political thought. His work has inspired both hate and awe, as he reveals the darker side of human nature and the value of authority. Though he claims man's nature is inherently competitive and selfish, he also shows us how to utilize these traits to our advantage to flourish, be fearless, and free.
