Yes.
Pic related, the first chapter starts with Hobbes and then leads on with a history of the state after Hobbes (loads left out but it's good on what it looks at). The second half isn't as good but it looks at how we can improve the state looking at Scandinavia and Asia . Might be a bit too neoliberal for lit ( the authors work at the Economist magazine) but it's quite good.

Never going to read anything by those Bilderberg faggots.
yes
t. Hobbes
after i read him mentioned and quoted in one of the worst books for retarded adults that i have ever read, 'the terror' by dan simmons, i consider him to be bydlo lit
p.s. i just wanted to read an adventure book about the lost expedition of franklin ("... True, the government had once sent Dr. Bull Frog, with a picked crew, to hunt for a northwesterly passage through the swamp to the right-hand corner of the wood, and had since sent out many expeditions to hunt for Dr. Bull Frog ...") and got that pile of crap quoting hobbes ><
at least it saved me from reading 'hyperion'
He's one of the most influential political philosophers in the West, so if he's not /lit/ approved, he shoud be.
His idea of human nature and what makes a state worthwhile are batshit, but he's been a huge influence on Western states.
do you need to read anything before him/is he reacting to a specific philosopher?
