Leviathan is Thomas Hobbes’s landmark work of political philosophy, first published in 1651 and still treated as a foundational text in discussions of sovereignty, social contract theory, and the origins of modern state power. Written in the shadow of the English Civil War and broader 17th century European conflict, the book asks why human beings create political authority and what conditions make civil order possible. Hobbes does not begin with ideal citizenship or moral harmony. Instead, he starts from fear, competition, and distrust, arguing that without a common power to hold society together, people fall into conflict and insecurity. The result is a rigorous defense of a strong sovereign state as the best answer to disorder. Penguin Classics presents the work in a form that preserves its historical character while making one of the most influential arguments in Western political thought accessible to modern readers.
