Description
Published in 1681, Behemoth is a treatise by Thomas Hobbes that explores the causes and consequences of the English Civil War. Written as a follow-up to his earlier work Leviathan, this book offers a contrasting view of what happens when government abuses reach their limits.
Hobbes applied his understanding of human nature to explain the events leading up to the civil war, drawing on his own experiences and observations. This unique approach allows readers to gain insight into the author's thought process and the historical context in which he wrote.
Behemoth is a fascinating study of politics, power, and human behavior, offering valuable insights into one of England's most tumultuous periods. With its clear and concise language, this book provides a compelling exploration of the complexities of governance and the consequences of unchecked authority.
