His first work was a translation of Thucydides History of the Peloponnesian Wars. A chaplain named Robert Payne is sometimes said to be the true author of what is traditionally thought to be this man's first work of philosophy, A Short Treatise on First Principles. Another of his works is a trilogy consisting of De Corpore, De Homine, and De Cive. In his most famous work, he uses his ideas about imagination, which he calls "decaying sense," to analyze the basis of human motivation. He then considers a situation of war of "all against all" and concludes that life under this state of nature is "nasty, brutish, and short," advocating absolutism instead.
