Leviathan
by Thomas Hobbes, C.B. MacPherson
by Thomas Hobbes, C.B. MacPherson
This is truly the greatest written political work of all time. It meticulously dissects the areas of the political body and mind, the Leviathan itself, and it also deals with the fundamental properties that enable that political body to work such as human reason, ideology, government and also religion.
Every question that I have conceived within the confines of my mind, this book has answered it perfectly and efficiently. It is amazing how Thomas Hobbes has argued, analyzed and even criticized the past from the Indian, Persian, Egyptian and Greek philosophers to Islamic, Christian and European philosophers.
He also distinguishes the factors that lead a nation from peace and stability to chaos and civil war. He then explains the necessities of religion and its fallacies and consequences in the political and national aspect.
This book clearly expresses the need of a proper political system that not only governs the masses but also ensures peace and order for the entire country as well, ergo the Leviathan.
