Leviathan
Author: Thomas Hobbes
In 'Leviathan,' Thomas Hobbes presents a foundational work of political philosophy, arguing for the necessity of a strong, centralized authority to avoid the chaos and violence of a state of nature, where life is 'solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.' Hobbes advocates for a social contract where individuals cede certain freedoms to an absolute sovereign in exchange for security and order.
