Leviathan

In "Leviathan," Thomas Hobbes explores the concept of the State as a unified entity, proposing sovereignty as the key to achieving unity, peace, and security. Written amid the chaos of the English Civil War, the work employs a scientific approach to politics, likening it to geometry. Despite facing condemnation and public outrage in Hobbes’ time, its contemporary relevance lies in its focus on power dynamics, the pursuit of peace, and its defense of the emerging market society.
