Leviathan (book)
''Leviathan or The Matter, Forme and Power of a Common Wealth Ecclesiasticall and Civil''—commonly referred to as ''Leviathan''—is a book written by Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679) and published in 1651 (revised Latin edition 1668).〔〔Hilary Brown, (''Luise Gottsched the Translator'' ), Camden House, 2012, p. 54.〕 Its name derives from the biblical Leviathan. The work concerns the structure of society and legitimate government, and is regarded as one of the earliest and most influential examples of social contract theory.〔 (Accessed 11 March 2009)〕 ''Leviathan'' ranks as a classic western work on statecraft comparable to Machiavelli's ''The Prince''. Written during the English Civil War (1642–1651), ''Leviathan'' argues for a social contract and rule by an absolute sovereign. Hobbes wrote that civil war and the brute situation of a state of nature ("the war of all against all") could only be avoided by strong undivided government.
