Статья посвящена анализу идей философской повести Г. Невилла «Остров Пайнов». В работе исследуется историко-философский контекст повести, выявляется специфика взглядов Невилла на проблемы социогенеза и возникновения государства, рассматриваются особенности предложенной им интерпретации таких концептов, как природа человека, общественный договор, власть и право. Теоретический контекст рассуждений Невилла задается гоббсовским учением об общественном договоре. Невилл переосмысливает механицистское представление своего знаменитого современника о природе человека Опираясь на доступные ему этнографические наблюдения за примитивными обществами, Невилл в ходе своеобразного мыслительного эксперимента реконструирует процесс социогенеза и, солидаризуясь с рядом выводов Гоббса о природе человека, избегает пессимистического взгляда на общественные отношения без участия в них Левиафана.

The paper analyzes the ideas of H. Neville’s philosophical novel “The Isle of Pines”. The scope of the research is to make sense of its place within the context of Early Modern political philosophy, and especially its linkage with the Hobbesian theories of human nature, sovereignty and inevitable conflict engaging pre-political communities into bellum omnium contra omnes. Rethinking Hobbesian views on the natural state Neville replaces his mechanical interpretation of human’s passions and behavioral patterns with a historical perspective. Taking into his account contemporary ethnographical knowledge Neville set a mental experiment and found out that a Hobbesian trap before the emergence of a state was not inevitable as well as the lack of social norms. We argue that Neville’s novel was an attempt to escape Hobbesian pessimism and to describe the emergence of social and political structures as a historical and evolutionary proces
