Abstract
This article concentrates on the political theory of Thomas Hobbes inside the European political tradition. Security is understood as a primary political good. In accordance with this, the creation of Leviathan is understood as a symbol connected to the typical process of the creation of the European state. Starting from this basic assumption, the author discuses the political theories of T. Hobbes, C. Schmitt and F. Neumann.
