Description
Hobbes's dense treatise reframes political authority not as divine right but as a social contract born from self-interest and fear, fundamentally reshaping how Western civilization thinks about power and obedience. Though technical, it's surprisingly readable for anyone interested in how we justify the governments we live under.
