Thomas Hobbes believed that human nature is inherently self-interested and driven by a desire for power. This view influenced his belief that a strong, centralized government headed by a monarch was necessary to maintain order and prevent chaos. Monarchs, according to Hobbes, needed to have absolute authority to control and govern society effectively.
