Abstract :

Among all scholars of social contract theory , Hobbes regarded as the first and the foremost thinker . The purpose of this paper is to reveal the anthropological base of his political thought. Reviving the classical  understanding  of  the  central  place  of  his  philosophical  anthropology  to  politics,  and  the conception of humans he developed can help better understanding of political behavior even in the contemporary  epoch.  This  paper  argued  that  his  political  philosophy  departs  from  a  number  of premises  that  are  supposed  to  be  self-evident,  supplemented  by  various  observations  from experience which can be found in  “Leviathan” ,  his famous and the most influential works of political philosophy ever written. Moreover , this paper also considered the relevancy of Hobbes' thought on several  issues  on  psychological  politics  such  as  democracy ,  game  theory ,  and  bargaining  in  the  social contract.
