Carl Schmitt, dessen Lebenswerk als Dialog mit Thomas Hobbes, dem frühen Theoretiker des modernen Staates, begriffen werden kann, kleidete sein Buch von der Krise des Staates im 20. Jahrhundert in eine Analyse von Hobbes Hauptwerk Leviathan. Diese Verschlüsselung der eigenen Aussage dürfte zum Teil auf das Konto der Entstehungszeit (1938) des Buches gehen. Schmitt behauptet mit Entschiedenheit, Hobbes sei nicht Vorläufer des totalitären Staates, sondern der Begründer des Rechtsstaates gewesen. Diesem wird hier der Totenschein ausgestellt, da die Relation von Schutz (für den Bürger)...

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. Leviathan argues for a social contract and rule by an absolute sovereign. Hobbes wrote that civil war and the brute situation of a state of nature ("the war of all against all") could only be avoided by strong undivided government.
