This book posits that geometricians determine properties from the construction of figures in a section on “What Philosophy Is.” The Foole’s claim that “there is no such thing as Justice” is rebutted by the claim that broken covenants lead to injustice in this book after the third of its 19 laws of nature is posed. According to this book, misinterpretation of scripture can drive a state to become a “Confederacy of Deceivers.” The fear of violent death is called summum malum in this book and cited as the reason humans form states in its first section, “Of Man.” This book characterizes the “state of nature” as a “war of all against all” that is “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.” For 10 points, name this 1651 book that advocates for rule by an absolute sovereign, written by Thomas Hobbes. ■END■
