14.Thomas Hobbes

Hobbes is best known for his 1651 book Leviathan, in which he made the argument that in the state of nature (i.e. without a state) life would be "nasty brutish and short". The state is formed when society gives up its liberty for security in order for self-preservation. This social contract theory is the basis of liberal political theory and that is why Hobbes is considered one of the founders of modern political philosophy. #course #CSS #LUMS #education #university #educational #learning *English YouTube:    / taimurrahman1975   *Instagram:   / taimur_laal   *Twitter:   / taimur_laal
