Limiting Leviathan: Hobbes on Law and International Affairs

Focusing on the intersections of law, politics, and morality, this book presents a fresh interpretation of Thomas Hobbes's legal philosophy. As one of the earliest legal positivists, Hobbes's extensive writings on law and his engagement in legal debates are explored in depth. Larry May's work serves as the first comprehensive examination in English, shedding light on Hobbes's influence and the significance of his ideas in contemporary legal thought.
