Who is Thomas Hobbes from The Origins of Political Order: From Prehuman Times to the French Revolution and what is their importance?

Thomas Hobbes was a political theorist and author who wrote "Leviathan," a treatise on the formation of the state. According to Hobbes, Fukuyama claims, man's deepest fear is of a violent death. The natural state of human interaction is war, Hobbes claims, and so the state arises when men desire to protect themselves from war and death. The Leviathan is a metaphorical creature that represents the state, which secures the individual right to life by securing peace with other peoples.
