Hobbes' Leviathan and Karl Popper's Theory and Locke's Paradox

Hobbes¿s masterpiece, Leviathan (1651), does not significantly depart from the view of De Cive concerning the relation between protection and obedience, but it devotes much more attention to the civil obligations of Christian believers and the proper and improper roles of a church. Leviathan or The Matter, Forme and Power of a Commonwealth Ecclesiasticall and Civil, commonly referred to as Leviathan, is a book written by Thomas Hobbes (1588¿1679) and published in 1651 (revised Latin edition 1668). Its name derives from the biblical Leviathan. The work concerns the structure of society and legitimate government, and is regarded as one of the earliest and most influential examples of social contract theory. Locke is also widely regarded as one of the most influential of Enlightenment thinkers and commonly known as the "Father of Liberalism" and Karl Popper is generally regarded as one of the greatest philosophers of science of the 20th century.
