作品介紹

De Cive (On the Citizen) is the first full exposition of the political thought of Thomas Hobbes, the greatest English political philosopher of all time. Professors Tuck and Silverthorne have undertaken the first complete translation since 1651, a rendition long thought (in error) to be at least sanctioned by Hobbes himself. On the Citizen is written in a clear, straightforward, expository style, and in many ways offers students a more digestible account of Hobbes's political thought than the Leviathan itself. This new translation is both accurate and accessible, and is itself a significant scholarly event: it is accompanied by a full glossary of Latin terms, a chronology, bibliography, and an expository introduction. Throughout the editors have emphasised consistency in the translation and usage of Hobbes's basic conceptual vocabulary, respecting Hobbes's own concern for accurate definition of terms.

這本書是對英國曆史上偉大的政治哲學家托馬斯·霍布斯的政治思想的首次全面闡述。塔克教授和西爾弗索恩教授進行了自1651年以來的第一個完整的翻譯，一個長期被霍布斯本人認可的翻譯。這本書以一種清晰、直接、説明性的風格書寫，在許多方面為學生提供了比《利維坦》本身更容易理解的關於霍布斯政治思想的敍述。這一新的翻譯是準確的和易懂的，而且本身是一個重要的學術事件：它是伴隨着拉丁術語的一個完整的詞彙表、年表書目，和一個説明性的介紹。編輯們始終強調霍布斯的基本概念詞彙的翻譯和使用的一致性，尊重霍布斯對術語準確定義的關注。
