No ficción
In Thomas Hobbes' seminal work 'Leviathan', the author explores the nature of government and society through a rational lens. Written during a tumultuous period in English history, Hobbes uses sharp philosophical reasoning to argue for the necessity of a strong central authority to maintain order and prevent the chaos of a 'state of nature'. He delves deep into the social contract theory, postulating that individuals willingly surrender their rights to a sovereign in exchange for protection and stability. The prose is characterized by its clarity and logical structure, making complex political ideas accessible to a wider audience. 'Leviathan' remains a cornerstone of political philosophy, influencing thinkers from John Locke to Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Hobbes' sobering analysis of human nature and society continues to provoke thought and debate to this day. I recommend 'Leviathan' to anyone interested in delving into the foundations of political theory and the role of government in maintaining social order.
