Explanation of Disraeli's quote (The Mighty Leviathan) [closed]
Solution 1:
Some of your second paragraph has a lunatic or reckless feel. Is the whole thing an excuse to include the racist term "negroid"? A "leviathan" is "something or someone that is extremely large and powerful". The word is the title of Hobbes' book, derived from the sea monster of Hebrew legend. 17th century Biblical interpreters believed that the creature was named using the Hebrew words lavah, meaning "to couple, connect, or join", and thannin, meaning "a serpent or dragon", “because by his bignesse he seemes not one single creature, but a coupling of divers together; or because his scales are closed, or straitly compacted together.” This coupling is referred to poetically by Hobbes in the title of his work, and is intended to convey the idea of a political "commonwealth" whose strength is derived from the joining together of many elements (people). Disraeli nicknamed Hobbes himself the "mighty Leviathan" because of his great stature as a political writer. Note that "Disraeli" here is not Benjamin Disraeli, twice Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, but his father, the writer Isaac Disraeli.
