Leviathan

by Thomas Hobbes

as yet unread

some background info here

“After the outbreak of the Civil War in 1642, Hobbes set aside work on the Elements of Philosophy as such, and conceived instead a single-volume work, which would start with a very brief summary of his metaphysics (in effect, On Body without the scientific material); then continue with a fuller summary of On the Human Being; and the bulk of the work would be an expanded version of On the Citizen. It was published, in English, in 1651, with the rather contentious title Leviathan.”
