New Leviathan: The Limits of Reason

Abstract

Thomas Hobbes’ Leviathan propounded a thesis which reverberates in the hideous houses of power, pillage, and politics. The New Leviathan is an evolutionary outcome of post-modern technological control, manipulation, capitalist populism, and consumerist globalization. This article is a search for a few answers which explain how civility, humanity, and survival are bedeviled by the forces of counter-development.
