Thomas Hobbes 
Leviathan | Thomas Hobbes 

‘Leviathan, ‘ a seminal work by Thomas Hobbes, delves into the essence of political philosophy and the social contract. Written during a time of political upheaval, Hobbes presents a pioneering argument for a strong, centralized government as a solution to human nature’s inherent brutishness. This treatise explores the dynamics between liberty and authority, and the necessity of societal structures for peace and protection. ‘Leviathan’ remains a cornerstone in understanding modern political theory and its impact on both historical and contemporary governance.
