About Thomas Hobbes
Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) was an English philosopher best known for his political philosophy, particularly his social contract theory articulated in his seminal work, "Leviathan." In this book, he argued that in the state of nature, human life is "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short," necessitating a strong central authority to maintain order and prevent chaos. His contributions laid the groundwork for modern political thought and greatly influenced the development of liberalism and social contract theories.
