Sobre IBD

Thomas Hobbes’s Leviathan, is a foundational work of political philosophy advocating for a strong, centralized government to prevent civil war and chaos.Leviathan argues that human life in a ’state of nature’ is a brutal ’war of all against all,’ leading people to enter a social contract, surrendering individual freedoms to an absolute sovereign for protection and order.Written during the English Civil War, it proposes that individuals enter a social contract, surrendering some freedoms for the security provided by a powerful government. The book explores the nature of man, the necessity of the social contract, and the structure of both civil and ecclesiastical government, making a case for a powerful sovereign to ensure peace and order.Leviathan is considered a classic of political philosophy and one of the earliest and most influential examples of social contract theory.
