Currently recognized as one of the leading theorists of political philosophy of the seventeenth century, Hobbes had his thinking involved in major political and religious wars, which, at that time, threatened to dissolve the nascent British state organization. Thus, this study aims to analyze the major political, social and philosophical events that somehow ended up influencing the Hobbesian thinking about the formation of the absolutist state, since for him, where there were no common power could not prevail the law and order, but only death, chaos and destruction.
