520 _a"The English Works of Thomas Hobbes of Malmesbury, Volume 03 (of 11)" by Hobbes is a philosophical treatise written in the mid-17th century. This volume is particularly focused on Hobbes' seminal work "Leviathan," which explores the structure of society and legitimate government, as well as the moral and political implications of human nature. The primary topic of this work is the nature of human beings and their interactions within a commonwealth, embodying Hobbes' views on social contract theory and the necessity of a central authority for societal stability. The opening of this volume introduces the overall themes and concerns of Hobbes' philosophy, discussing the comparison between natural human beings and an artificial construct he refers to as the "Leviathan," or Commonwealth. It emphasizes that just as God created life, humans likewise create an artificial man through the institution of government, which serves to maintain order and protect individuals from chaos. Hobbes lays the groundwork for his ideas on human perception, imagination, and the role of speech in rational discourse, establishing a comprehensive framework for understanding the foundation of socio-political relationships and authority.
