Thomas Hobbes (jan 1, 1588 – jan 1, 1679)
Description:
Hobbes used logic and reason to explain how humans should interact, and came up with the idea of absolutism. Absolutism is saying that there should be a mutual relationship between the king and people, that there should be an almighty ruler serving and protecting his citizens. In 1651, he wrote a book called Leviathan, meaning sea monster, in which he recorded his ideas and described human nature, saying how they can't control themselves/are messy.Added to timeline:
