The new Leviathans : thoughts after liberalism / John Gray. - London : Allen Lane, 2023. - 144 pages ; 23 cm.
Ever since its publication in 1651, Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan has unsettled and challenged how we understand the world. Condemned and vilified by each new generation, Hobbes' cold political vision continues to see through any number of political and ethical vanities. In his stimulating book 'The New Leviathans', John Gray allows us to understand the world of the 2020s with all its contradictions, moral horrors and disappointments through a new reading of Hobbes' classic work.
