Overview
"Written during the chaos of the English Civil War, Thomas Hobbes' 'Leviathan' asks how, in a world of violence and horror, can we stop ourselves from descending into anarchy? Hobbes' case for a 'common-wealth' under a powerful sovereign -- or 'Leviathan' -- to enforce security and the rule of law, shocked his contemporaries, and his book was publicly burnt for sedition the moment it was published."--Goodreads.
