About Thomas Hobbes

Thomas Hobbes was an English philosopher famous for his groundbreaking political theory, particularly his 1651 masterwork "Leviathan." He argued that without a strong central authority, human life would be "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short," a phrase that became iconic in Western thought. Hobbes believed people naturally pursue self-interest and conflict, making an absolute sovereign necessary to maintain peace and order in society.
