Abstract
In this essay our goal is to present and develop a global understanding of Hobbes’ political theory. To fully understand his theories one must read Hobbes while considering the era in which he lived; the European religious wars, the English civil war and of course the contemporary culture. We will also endeavor to explore how his ideas were received, their relative success or failure, in 17th century England.
