Thomas Hobbes wrote the Leviathan (1651). He was convinced that all humans were naturally selfish and wicked. Without government to keep order Hobbes said, there would be "war . . . of every man against every man," and life would be "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." In order to escape such a bleak life people had to hand over their rights to a strong ruler.
