Exploring the nature of humanity and governance, Hobbes argues that humans are inherently selfish and require a strong central authority to maintain societal order. He introduces the concept of the social contract, where individuals relinquish certain rights for protection. Additionally, Hobbes advocates for a rational basis for religion, proposing that the state should regulate religious practices. This collection of essays reflects the influential ideas of a 17th-century philosopher, making it essential for those interested in political theory and philosophy.
