Riassunto

Thomas Hobbes wrote Leviathan during the depths of the English Civil War. Hobbes theorized that man’s essential nature is selfish, and therefore man needs a powerful ruler, or Leviathan, to keep in check his basest actions and desires, and to provide security for a civilization that would otherwise descend into anarchy. Hobbes worldview shocked his contemporaries, and his book was burned during his lifetime. But his rejection of Aristotle’s essentially benign view of man created an entirely new worldview and line of political theory—one that still resonates today, four centuries after Hobbes published this book.
