View full profile →

Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679) was an English philosopher best known for his work in political philosophy, particularly his book Leviathan, which laid the foundations of social contract theory. He argued for a strong central authority to avoid the 'state of nature'—a war of all against all—and was a materialist who believed that all phenomena, including human thought, could be explained by motion and matter. His mechanistic worldview and pessimistic view of human nature made him a controversial figure in his time.
