Why does Thomas Hobbes call Leviathan a mortal god?

Thomas Hobbes calls Leviathan a mortal god because he believed that the power of the sovereign, represented by the Leviathan, can provide order and security to society much like a god would. By granting the sovereign power over all individuals, Hobbes saw it as a necessary authority to prevent the chaos that arises from individuals pursuing their self-interests in a state of nature.


What were Thomas Hobbes philosophical ideas?

Thomas Hobbes believed that humans were naturally self-interested and prone to conflict, leading to a "state of nature" that was violent and chaotic. In order to avoid this, he argued for a social contract where individuals surrender some freedoms to a powerful government in exchange for protection and order. Hobbes famously wrote "Leviathan" to outline his views on the necessity of strong central authority.
