What are some of thomas hobbes works?

Answer 1

Thomas Hobbes was an enlightenment thinker who believed in the struggle of man. Without government, he argued, life was essentially meaningless. Highly pessimistic, Hobbes did not see an inherent goodness in man, as many of his contemporaries did, and as such took a strict view on the idea of the 'social contract'.

His works were numerous and varied throughout his life, but he is the most famous for The Leviathan, De Corpore, and De Homine.

Interestingly enough, in the popular cartoon "Calvin and Hobbes" the character of Hobbes is based largely on the philosopher. Hobbes the Tiger is fairly pessimistic and puts a good deal of faith in Calvin's parents-- the perceived government structure.

Answer 2

Some of Thomas Hobbes' notable works include "Leviathan," "De Cive," and "Behemoth." These works delve into political philosophy, social contract theory, and the nature of human nature and government. "Leviathan" is his most famous work, outlining his views on the necessity of a strong central authority to maintain social order.
