Les spécialistes de la pensée de Hobbes ont souligné l'importance de son troisième grand tour à travers l'Europe (1634-1636) et de son séjour à Paris, pour le développement de son système philosophique. Cette étude analyse les débats philosophiques et scientifiques qui ont eu lieu dans la capitale française pendant ces années là, et qui se révélèrent décisifs pour la naissance de la philosophie de Hobbes.Un travail qui compare pour la première fois et de façon détaillée les pensées de Mersenne et de Hobbes, dont on souligne les analogies et les différences au niveau méthodologique et épistémologique. Cette étude porte également sur la figure de Descartes, dont on évolue la contribution essentielle au développement de la pensée hobbesienne.

Horst Bredekamp’s subject is the astute deployment and perennial resonance of the startling image of the body politic that dominates the frontispiece to Leviathan: a treatise on the psychology of the individual and the dynamic of the multitude, published in 1651 by the English philosopher Thomas Hobbes. Affirming the centrality of such a figural device for this pioneering theorist of the state, Bredekamp goes on to address the art-historical dimension of the mesmerising etched title-page. In his central chapters he explores the extraordinary range of sources – from socio-cultural tradition to scientific advances – on which the author and his artist-collaborator may have drawn. In conclusion, he reveals Hobbes to be no less passionate than shrewd in his belief that the constraints and amenities of a tolerable life in common attest to the potency of the visual. As appendices, two essays and catalogues explore the portraits made of Hobbes as well as illustrations that appeared in his other works, thus systematically completing the exploration of the images connected with this exceptional philosopher. Von Natur aus ist der Mensch so frei wie wölfisch. Um sich selbst zu bändigen, muss er folglich einen künstlichen Riesen schaffen: den Staat, der als übergeordnete Instanz den permanenten Bürgerkrieg zu unterdrücken und Frieden zu schaffen vermag. Diese Essenz von Thomas Hobbes' "Leviathan" ist bis heute ebenso vehement verworfen wie bekräftigt worden. Zu den Mitteln, mit denen der Leviathan die Menschen vom Unfrieden abhält, gehören Bilder, und aus diesem Grund steht dem Leviathan ein Frontispiz voran. Das Buch erschließt mit Abraham Bosse den Künstler des Frontispizes, stellt sämtliche Varianten dieses Urbildes des modernen Staates zusammen und versucht, die Vorgeschichte seiner politischen Ikonographie zu klären.

The book offers the first analysis of the influence exercised by the concept of space on the emergence and continuing operation of international law. By adopting a historical perspective and analysing work of two central early modern thinkers - Leibniz and Hobbes - it offers a significant addition to a limited range of resources on early modern history of international law. The book traces links between concepts of space, universality, human cognition, law, and international law in these two early modern thinkers in a comparative fashion. Through this analysis, the book demonstrates the dependency of the contemporary international law on the Hobbesian concept of space. Although some Leibnizian elements continue to operate, they are distorted. This continuing operation of Leibnizian elements is explained by the inability of international law, which is based on the Hobbesian concept of space, to ensure universality of its normative foundation.
