✅ Summary -

Leviathan (1651) by Thomas Hobbes argues that without political authority, humans live in a violent “state of nature” where life is insecure and conflict-ridden. To escape this, people form a social contract, giving up some freedoms to a sovereign power (the “Leviathan”) that ensures peace, security, and order. Hobbes defends the need for strong, centralized authority and warns against religious and political division, making the book a foundational text in modern political philosophy.
