englischThomas Hobbes’ reference to a ‘mortal god’ in Leviathan has been the subject of heated discussions for centuries. In contrast to the ‘immortal God’, Leviathan, an artificial person, is mortal in Hobbes’ eyes because he can theoretically revert to civil war at any time. If we consider Hobbes’ doctrine a reflection of his era, then by extension several epochs seem to be of particular interest in this respect. These epochs form part of this book’s structural approach.

»Gerade an interdisziplinären Zugängen, aus denen eine politische Lokalisierung erst hervorgeht, gewinnt eine rezeptionsorientierte Hobbes-Forschung.«
