“This new Norton Critical Edition of Hobbes’s Leviathan combines the full text of Hobbes’s masterpiece with a generous choice of background materials that allow the reader to put this central work in political philosophy into context. Included here are Hobbes’s own comments on his intellectual development, as well as reactions from his contemporaries and from later readers to his bold and still controversial views, ending with a wise and judicious selection from the vast current literature. This excellent volume will help both the student and the general reader to understand and appreciate Hobbes’s continued significance for political thought.” —Daniel Garber Princeton University
