Thomas Hobbes
Thomas Hobbes was an English philosopher, best known for his work on political philosophy. He is famous for his book "Leviathan," in which he discusses the social contract theory and the nature of government. Hobbes believed that humans are inherently self-interested and that without a strong central authority, life would be "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." His ideas have had a significant impact on political thought and continue to be influential today.
