De La Nature Humaine (1772)

Meer over het boek

Exploring the essence of human nature, Thomas Hobbes argues that humans are inherently self-interested, necessitating societal structures to prevent conflict and violence. He introduces the social contract theory, where individuals surrender some freedoms in exchange for security provided by the state. This philosophical work significantly shaped political thought and influenced subsequent thinkers. The book is presented as a facsimile reprint, preserving its cultural importance while making it accessible in a modern format.
