Leviathan - Book by Thomas Hobbes

Leviathan is a foundational work of political philosophy written by Thomas Hobbes in 1651. In this text, Hobbes argues for the necessity of a powerful, centralized authority to maintain peace and prevent chaos. He famously describes life without government as β€œsolitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.” Hobbes’ concept of the social contract suggests that individuals surrender some of their freedoms in exchange for security and order provided by a sovereign ruler.
