The thought of Thomes Hobbes on state and law

In Hobbes' political philosophy to understand and define the human nature and state created by human beings is the essential part. Hobbes beleived that it is necessary to explain the origin and the future of the state and factors that influence and determine its future. Thus, he defended the idea that men can be sovereign over their future and give direction to it The way to reach this aim is possible with science and philosophy. For this reason, Hobbes is a political philosopher who had succedded in forming his political theory in a general philosophy. Having being infuluenced by the civil war in England Hobbes aimed to provide peace and security in his country. In order to do that, he believed that the best and the most convenient way of continuity of sovereignty is to assign political authority to the use of one person, he developed a theory which defended absolute monarchy. According to medivial opinion, the God was the source of political authority and those wielding this authority were assigned by him. Hobbes demolished this medieval theory by basing sovereignty on social contract depending on individuals. Hobbes based the state established by human beings as an artificial institution on individuals with an utilitarien approach. The aim of state is to provide conditions in which individuals live their lives happly in peace and security. With this line of thought he had scientifically explained the modern theory of state which gained its independence from the religious authority.
