About this title

Synopsis

《比希莫特》是霍布斯继《利维坦》之后的又一部政治哲学著作,写于1668-1670 年,于作者逝世后出版。与水中怪兽利维坦相对,比希莫特是《圣经》中记载的一只陆上怪兽。本书以对话体写成,全书分为四场对话。对话人“甲”可能是英国内战的亲历者或见证人,对话人“乙”可能是“甲”的学生。“乙”很想知道彼时英国斯图亚特王朝垮台的原因,于是二人就以对话的形式开始了对英国内战的原因以及导致内战的阴谋和相关奸计的讨论。尽管以叙史为名,但书中的记述不乏失实之处。因此,与其说本书是一本关于英国内战的史书,毋宁说霍布斯托言叙史来表达自己的政治主张。作为霍布斯后一部政治哲学著作，《比希莫特》被视为其晚年思想的代表性作品。
