16,17 century British and even the entire continent of Europe,the protracted religious war on the people of that era had a great shock,the scholar is difficult to avoid the influence of religion,simply build their own theory,Hobbes is also the case.Looking back at the research situation at home and abroad,scholars have a great controversy about what kind of doctrine Hobbes or whether it is a real atheist,especially in our academic circles,almost stripping Hobbes' religious view to study its national theory.However,the author found that living in the era of religious disputes lead to a variety of war,Hobbes has its own unique religious view,he hoped that through their own reconstruction of religion,religion will be transformed into one of the forces of absolute sovereignty;the cornerstone of Hobbes' national theory may be more than just "rational".Thus,the author attempts to sort out the main theory of ancient Greece since the basis of Hobbes related works for text analysis,found how Hobbes in the framework of religion to build "Leviathan",and how to Religion,a factor that triggers social instability,translates into social stability.Thus providing a new perspective to understand Hobbes 'theory of absolute sovereignty and further restoring Hobbes' national theory.This article mainly from five dimensions to expand the argument:Part ?: Introduction: introduction.This paper gives a brief summary of the research results of the topics discussed in this paper,and puts forward the basic research ideas of this paper on the basis of the writing background,writing purpose and significance of this article.Part ?: Theoretical Evolution countries to sort out before ancient Greece to Hobbs.Respectively,from the various periods of theorists who face the social reality and the ideological background of the beginning of the different period of the main thinkers of the national theory of analysis,so as to Hobbes to face the times and his solution to the way to compare And lay out.Part ?: Theoretical analysis of the country under the Hobbs theological framework for building.In this part,through the reinterpretation of Hobbes' writings and the deepening of the internal relations between Hobbes' writings,we study the introduction of the "kingdom of God" into the natural law under the legal concept of Hobbes' So that the so-called natural law and the traditional concept of natural law to distinguish,to show its legal positivism in the natural law under the construction of "Leviathan" unique way.Part ?: Explain how Hobbes builds the absolute sovereignty of the secular state in the framework of theology.Under the last part,he continues to explore the absolute national sovereignty under the Hobbes theology system.Hobbes relies on secular sovereignty by attaching religion to politics,the church,the priest,and the pope,and the beliefs of the believers the order of the sovereign order(that is,the law of the people),and finally the proof of the reduction of the power of religion to obey the sovereign.Part ?: Conclusion.Through the above interpretation,the author concludes that in the Hobbes national theoretical system,religious factors have a very important position,Hobbes absolute sovereignty of the religious argument is definitely not a rhetoric or metaphor,but real Hobbes is not the "atheist" of the theory of national sovereignty in the modern sense,and the construction of the national theory under its theological framework lays the foundation for the later legal positivism.
