About Thomas Hobbes
Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) was an English philosopher best known for his political philosophy, articulated in his seminal work, "Leviathan," published in 1651. He argued that human beings are naturally self-interested and that a strong central authority is essential to prevent societal chaos and maintain order. Hobbes' ideas laid the groundwork for modern social contract theory and influenced subsequent political thought, emphasizing the necessity of governance to avoid the brutality of a "state of nature."
