Leviathan is both a magnificent literary achievement and the greatest
work of political philosophy in the English language. Permanently
challenging, it has found new applications and new refutations in every
generation. This new edition reproduces the first printed text,
retaining the original punctuation but modernizing the spelling. It
offers exceptionally thorough and useful annotation, an introduction
that guides the reader through the complexities of Hobbes's arguments,
and a substantial index.
