Thomas Hobbes: Leviathan
•No arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short.
•The Papacy is not other than the Ghost of the deceased Roman Empire, sitting crowned upon the grave thereof.
•The condition of man…is a condition of war of everyone against everyone.
Written in 1651, Leviathan is considered by many to be the foundation of modern, western political philosophy.
