О овој е-књизи
Thomas Hobbes's seminal work, *Leviathan*, published in 1651, is a cornerstone of political philosophy that explores the foundations of civilization and the structure of society. Written during the tumultuous period of the English Civil War, Hobbes employs a distinctively clear and methodical literary style, combining rigorous logical argumentation with vivid metaphor. The titular Leviathan emerges as a powerful symbol of the state, representing the necessity of a strong, centralized authority to prevent the chaos of humanity's natural state, characterized by 'war of all against all.' This text offers profound insights into human nature, governance, and social contracts, setting the stage for modern political thought. Thomas Hobbes, a philosopher, and mathematician, was deeply influenced by his experiences in a politically unstable England. His prior studies of science, particularly geometry and optics, inform his analytical approach to human behavior and political structures. These influences culminated in his desire to find a stable framework for societal order, prompting the creation of *Leviathan*, which challenges readers to grapple with the implications of political authority and individual freedom. *Leviathan* is essential reading for anyone interested in the origins of political theory, ethics, or modern governance. Hobbes's arguments are not only historically significant but also resonate with contemporary debates on authority and individual rights. This thought-provoking work invites readers to reflect on the delicate balance between security and freedom, urging them to consider the implications of political power in their own lives.
