摘要
施特劳斯曾认为,霍布斯是现代政治哲学的始作俑者。后来,施特劳斯修正了自己的看法,明确把现代政治哲学创始人的殊荣归于马基雅维利。霍布斯在何种意义上承续了马基雅维利?从马基雅维利和霍布斯对古典政治哲学和基督教政治哲学的态度来看,两人在思想格调上存在某种隐秘的关联,但也有理论抱负上的差异。马基雅维利企图以实证的政治历史为基础建立新的政治理论,霍布斯认为这种基础还不够牢靠,故而以生存欲望为基础确立了现代政治科学。
Leo Strauss used to advocate that Hobbes was the initiator of modern political philosophy. Later he revised his viewpoint and attributed the honor of founder of modern political philosophy to Machiavelli. In what sense Hobbes＇ s ideas sprung from Machiavelli？ From their attitudes to classical and Christian political philosophy, we see there existed secret relations in their thought taste as well as discrepancies in their theory ambition. Machiavelli attempted to set up a kind of new political theory on the basis of empirical political history, but Hobbes stated that the basis was not solid, thus he established modern political science based on the desire to survive.
