Thomas Hobbes (J. Horgan)

I was born in April 5, 1588 in Wiltshire, England and I grew up in the Modern Philosophy Era. I studied many at many places. Such places include; Westport Church, Malmesbury school, private school, and then I graduated from the University of Oxford. The principal there had a great influence on me. Later on, I created the Social Contract. This is an agreement in which people trade in their freedom for an ordered society. I believe these societies should be ruled by and upper hand. Absolute Monarchy is much better with controlling subjects of the area. With people being born cruel and all, a solid leader and a strong government keeps society under control. This is easily stated in my book, The Leviathan. You guys should check it out. In this book I argue how people would be poor and awful if left to be on their own because of how they were born cruel, greedy, and selfish. Can't wait to tell more!
