利维坦主权形成的内在逻辑——新的政治基础和主权建构

On the Shaping of Inner Logic of Leviathan Sovereignty——New Political Basis and Sovereignty Construction

霍布斯的《利维坦》被称为理解近代国家主权的圣经。文章从霍布斯政治哲学基础开始,阐释霍布斯在第一部分《论人类》中前几章的写作背景和意图,并借助于施特劳斯和剑桥学派的相关解读,论及霍布斯新的政治哲学基础,即在自然状态下关于权势欲与恐惧之间的对立。在此基础上,进一步阐释精致构建的主权理论,并指出霍布斯为利维坦所塑造的两张完全不同的面孔。

Hobbes＇s ＂ Leviathan＂ is known as the Bible on the understanding of modern national sovereignty. Beginning from the basis of Hobbes＇s political philosophy, the paper explains the writing background and intention of preceding chapters of Hobbes＇ ＂ On humans＂ in Part I, also with the help of Strauss and the Cambridge schoolrelated readings. Then the author discusses the basis of a new political philosophy of Hobbes, namely the antinomy between the desire of power and the fear under the natural situation. On this basis, the paper further explains the delicately constructed theory of sovereignty and at the end it points out two different sides of Leviathan which are shaped by Thomas Hobbes.
