Leviathan: Or The Matter, Forme, & Power Of A Commonwealth Ecclesiastical And Civill

Written by Thomas Hobbes during the English Civil War and first published in 1651, Leviathan is a classic Western work concerning the structure of government according to the social contract theory. Named after the biblical Leviathan, a huge sea creature described in several Old Testament books, Hobbes argues that the best form of government is a powerful, undivided one under the authority of an absolute sovereign.
