Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Einband leicht berieben, kleine Flecken auf Kopfschnitt, Fußschnitt verschmutzt, sonst guter Zustand / binding slightly rubbed, small stains on top edge, bottom edge soiled, otherwise good condition. - De Cive (On the Citizen) is the first full exposition of the political thought of Thomas Hobbes, the greatest English political philosopher. Professors Tuck and Silverthorne have undertaken the first complete translation since 1651, a rendition long thought (in error) to have been at least sanctioned by Hobbes himself. On the. Citizen is written in a clear, straightforward, expository style, and in many ways offers students a more digestible account of Hobbess political thought than thè Leviathan itself. This new translation is both accurate and accessible, and is itself a significant scholarly event: it is accompanied by a full glossary of Latin terms, a chronology, a bibliography and an expository introduction. Throughout, the editors have emphasized consistency in the translation and usage of Hobbess basic conceptual vocabulary, respecting Hobbess own concern for accurate definition of terms. / Contents Acknowledgements Introduction The translation Key words Principal events in Hohbes s life Further reading Philosophical Elements: On the Citizen The Epistle Dedicatory Preface to the Readers The Text: Chapters I-XVIII Index.
