Throughout history, some books have changed the world. They have transformed the
way we see ourselves - and each other. They have inspired debate, dissent, war
and revolution. They have enlightened, outraged, provoked and comforted. They
have enriched lives - and destroyed them. Now Penguin brings you the works of
the great thinkers, pioneers, radicals and visionaries whose ideas shook
civilization and helped make us who we are.
The founding father of modern political philosophy, Thomas Hobbes, living in an
era of horrific violence, saw human life as meaningless and cruel; here, he
argues the only way to escape this brutality is for all to accept a 'social
contract' that acknowledges the greater authority of a Sovereign leader.
