More about the book

Exploring the structure of society and governance, this influential work by Thomas Hobbes presents a compelling argument for social contract theory and the necessity of an absolute sovereign. Written amid the turmoil of the English Civil War, it addresses the chaos of a state of nature, advocating that only a strong, undivided government can prevent civil conflict. The book's title, derived from the biblical creature, symbolizes the immense power and authority Hobbes believes is essential for societal stability.
