Are liberty and security inherently incompatible? Thomas Hobbes, the 17th century English philosopher thought so. Backed by his view of mankind and the world, he conceptualized the Leviathan, a state that would be sure to secure peace. JSharaad Kuttan and Ahmad Fuad Rahmat explore the themes, arguments and questions behind this idea.
