The Leviathan, or the Substance
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Thomas Hobbes is a captivating print that encapsulates the essence of this renowned philosopher's work. The image showcases an imaginary character known as the Leviathan, representing the power and form of a commonwealth. Painted by Abraham Bosse in the 17th century, this engraving serves as a symbolic representation of Hobbes' philosophy. Hobbes believed in a strong central government to maintain order and prevent chaos within society. The Leviathan, with its imposing presence and intricate details, embodies this concept perfectly. Its towering figure symbolizes authority and control while its intricate design suggests complexity and interdependence. This print not only captures Hobbes' political theory but also highlights his contribution to Western philosophy during the 17th century. It serves as a reminder of how ideas can shape societies and influence governance systems. Stefano Bianchetti's restoration work on this piece has brought it back to life, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance once again. As we gaze upon "The Leviathan, or the Substance" we are transported back in time to an era where philosophical debates shaped our understanding of government and human nature. This print is not just a beautiful artwork; it is a window into history—a testament to Thomas Hobbes' enduring legacy as one of England's most influential thinkers.
