Description

De Cive is a political philosophy book written by Thomas Hobbes in 1642. It is a treatise on the nature of government and the relationship between the individual and the state. Hobbes argues that humans are naturally selfish and violent, and that the only way to maintain order and prevent chaos is through a strong central government. He advocates for absolute monarchy as the best form of government, as it allows for the most effective exercise of power and the protection of individual rights. Hobbes also discusses the role of religion in society, arguing that it should be subordinate to the state and used as a means of promoting social order. Overall, De Cive is a seminal work in political philosophy that continues to influence contemporary debates about the nature of government and the role of the individual in society.All Authors agree not concerning the definition of the Naturall Law, who notwithstanding doe very often make use of this terme in their Writings. The Method therefore, wherein we begin from definitions, and exclusion of all equivocation, is only proper to them who leave no place for contrary Disputes; for the rest, if any man say, that somwhat is done against the Law of Nature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
