Hallo, ik ben Finn, en ik help je dit boek te begrijpen.

Hier is het, uitgelegd alsof je 10 jaar bent:

Thomas Hobbes leefde tijdens de burgeroorlog in Engeland, en hij wilde weten hoe mensen samen kunnen leven zonder elkaar te verscheuren. Zijn antwoord is een machtige heerser, een Leviathan, geschapen wanneer iedereen ermee instemt één gezag te gehoorzamen in ruil voor veiligheid. Hobbes schrijft stoutmoedig over angst, macht en de menselijke natuur, en niet iedereen houdt van zijn conclusies. Dat is precies waarom mensen bijna vier eeuwen later nog met dit boek redetwisten.
