Despre Om și Societate by Thomas Hobbes
Examining human perception, language, and the passions through a mechanistic lens, this work argues that self-preservation and fear of violent death drive action and conflict. From this account it derives a social contract: to escape the anarchic state of nature, individuals authorize an undivided sovereign to make law, adjudicate disputes, and govern religion. The result is a defense of centralized authority as the condition for peace, security, and civil order.
