Viac o knihe

The book presents Thomas Hobbes' advocacy for a social contract and an absolute sovereign, shaped by the turmoil of the English Civil War. Hobbes posits that only a powerful central government can prevent chaos and civil war, encapsulated in his notion of the state of nature as "the war of all against all." He argues against any right to rebellion within the social contract, a concept later modified by thinkers like John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
