Obra capital del pensamiento político occidental, el Leviatán o la materia, forma y poder de un Estado eclesiástico y civil contiene la teoría del Estado de Thomas Hobbes, concebido metafóricamente como la gran bestia bíblica, máquina poderosa y monstruo devorador de los individuos. El Estado hobbesiano lo decide todo: es un sistema que representa la concepción autoritaria y absolutista, basada tanto en el principio de la igualdad como en el pesimismo total ante la naturaleza humana. La concepción política de Hobbes, inicialmente de inspiración promonárquica, está dominada por el mecanicismo naturalista y la afirmación del poder omnímodo del Estado, originalmente concebido como un correctivo a la disolución política motivada por las pasiones antisociales del hombre.

Work Description
Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan, from 1651, is one of the first and most influential arguments towards social contract. Written in the midst of the English Civil War, it concerns the structure of government and society and argues for strong central governance and the rule of an absolute sovereign as the way to avoid civil war and chaos.
