Abstract

This paper examines the specific way the anthropological discourse of Leviathan has intertwined beliefs and human nature. To achieve this goal we shall illustrate the different effects of subjectivation that Thomas Hobbes, in his book of 1651, relates, sometimes not entirely explicitly, to three specific religious doctrines: ancient paganism, Roman Catholicism and early Christianity. The thesis I intend to argue is that the anthropology of Leviathan is not limited to the construction of a single and immutable model of humanity, but is open to the recognition of multiple forms of subjectivity, produced by certain systems of ideas.
