Caught Between Iraq And A Hard Place: The Legacy Of Governmental (Il)Legitimacy And Contemporary Iraq, Daniele Durkin

Hobbes famously founds his commonwealth on the equal subjection of all to the Leviathan, which is the equal subjection of all to law. We need to understand why he nevertheless needs to accommodate the diversity of society-the basic fact that some are weak while others are not-into the operation of the public law machine.
