This book delves into the ideas of these influential thinkers and examines their impact on contemporary society. The text begins by discussing the fundamental principles of political philosophy, including the nature of human beings, the role of government, and the relationship between individuals and society. It then delves into the works of each philosopher, analyzing their key concepts and how they have influenced modern political thought. Hobbes' Leviathan is discussed in detail, highlighting his views on the need for a strong central authority to maintain order and prevent chaos. His concept of the social contract is also explored, demonstrating how it has shaped our understanding of political power and the role of government. Similarly, Marx's Das Kapital is analyzed, focusing on his critique of capitalism and the importance of class struggle in shaping society. The text also examines the intersections between these philosophers' ideas and how they have been applied in different contexts throughout history. As the book progresses, it becomes clear that both Hobbes and Marx were concerned with the need for human beings to coexist peacefully and avoid conflict. However, they had very different visions for achieving this goal. Hobbes believed that a powerful state was necessary to maintain order, while Marx argued that a more equal distribution of resources would lead to a more harmonious society.
