Question
This book imagines a mind wandering from an ongoing war to Roman pennies to illustrate what it calls a “train of thought.” Like Saint Anselm, this book references the Psalms in a passage refuting a fool who has “said in his heart” that “there is no such thing as Justice.” This book argues that we should always seek peace and keep our contracts in a list of “laws of nature.” This book’s vision of its title subject as “an artificial (*) man, though of greater stature… than the natural” is literally illustrated on its frontispiece. This book argues that we should form a commonwealth under an absolute sovereign to escape a “war of all against all” in which life is “nasty, brutish, and short.” For 10 points, name this magnum opus of Thomas Hobbes. ■END■
