Description
“Leviathan” was written during the English Civil War (1642–1651), a time of political and social upheaval. Hobbes sought to address the chaotic state of affairs by presenting a political philosophy grounded in a materialistic and authoritarian view of human nature.
The term “leviathan” refers to a biblical sea monster and is used metaphorically in the book to represent the powerful and authoritative state that Hobbes argues for.
“Leviathan” is considered one of the foundational texts of modern political philosophy. It laid the groundwork for discussions on the role of the state, the social contract, and the nature of political authority.
For scholars and enthusiasts delving into political theory and philosophy, “Leviathan” retains its significance, offering valuable perspectives into Hobbes’s conceptualization of government and societal structure.
