Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Hobbes is best known for his greatly influential work on political philosophy. Born in 1588 in Wiltshire, England, his masterwork Leviathan established the foundation for most of Western political philosophy. He famously developed social contract theory, and controversially used it to support absolute power for the sovereign. Here you will find extracts from his greatest works. Hannah Dawson takes this great thinker and highlights those ideas most relevant to ordinary everyday dilemmas.
