Krátky popis
‘Britain’s best philosopher – he knocks it out of the park with a
book that details the unravelling of the Western order’ Telegraph,
Books of the YearEver 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 wonderfully 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.The
collapse of the USSR ushered in an era of near-apoplectic
triumphalism in the West: a genuine belief that a rational,
liberal, well-managed future now awaited humankind and that
tyranny, nationalism and unreason lay in the past. Since then, so
many terrible events have occurred and so many poisonous ideas
flourished, and yet still our liberal certainties treat them as
aberrations which will somehow dissolve away. Hobbes would not be
so confident.Filled with fascinating and challenging perceptions,
The New Leviathans is a powerful meditation on historical and
current folly. As a species we always seem to be struggling to face
the reality of base and delusive human instincts. Might a more
self-aware, realistic and disabused ethics help us all?
