The English works of Thomas Hobbes of Malmesbury, Volume 03 (of 11)

"The English Works of Thomas Hobbes of Malmesbury, Volume 03 (of 11)" by Thomas Hobbes is a deep exploration into the world of government and society found in his most important writing, "Leviathan." Here, the story centers on understanding how humans, by nature, behave, and how a strong governing power is needed to keep humans from descending into social messiness. Like a god creating a person, humans, according to Hobbes, shape government to secure safety and order. Hobbes begins with looking at how people think, imagine, and talk reasonably, building a case for why we form societies and pick leaders.
