Excerpt from Leviathan in Crisis: An International Symposium on the State, Its Past, Present, and Future, by Fifty-Four Twentieth Century Writers Nevertheless, almost from Hobbes's time to the present, individual voices of criticism and protest have been raised in every country, despite the public odium and Often the material penalties of impiety and disloyalty thus incurred.
