| dc.description.abstract | This paper aims to show that despite the fact that Hobbes used the term “civil war” several times in his Leviathan, if his theory is to be seen as an attempt to formulate a complete, logically consistent structure, then there is no place in it for any distinctive, analytically important feature that clearly separates civil war from ordinary war. This point subsequently serves to highlight the fact that Hobbes could separate the two types of conflict solely by implicitly relying on a common, standard usage of the term “civil war,” which in turn invalidated his claim regarding the presence of a universally recognized, unifying sovereign power as a sole ground of the existence of political community. | en |
| dc.description.abstract | Niniejszy artykuł ma na celu wykazanie, że pomimo faktu, iż Hobbes kilkakrotnie użył terminu „wojna domowa” w dziele Lewiatan, jeśli jego teoria ma być próbą sformułowania kompletnej, spójnej, logicznej struktury, to nie ma w niej miejsca na żadną charakterystyczną, istotną analitycznie cechę, która wyraźnie odróżnia wojnę domową od zwykłej wojny. Ta obserwacja służy następnie podkreśleniu, że Hobbes był w stanie dokonać rozróżnienia między dwoma rodzajami konfliktu wyłącznie opierając się na powszechnym, standardowym rozumieniu terminu „wojna domowa”, co z kolei podważało jego twierdzenie dotyczące obecności powszechnie uznanej, jednoczącej władzy suwerennej jako jedynej podstawy istnienia wspólnoty politycznej. | pl |
