The book explores the concept of social contract theory, emphasizing the need for individuals to surrender certain freedoms for the stability and protection provided by a strong government. Hobbes argues for an absolute sovereign as essential for maintaining order, especially during the turmoil of the English Civil War. The work is divided into four sections: examining human nature, defining commonwealths, discussing the intersection of religion and governance, and addressing moral standards. It remains a pivotal text in understanding political philosophy and the nature of authority.
