Thomas Hobbes argued that in the state of nature life is "nasty, brutish, and short" due to the absence of a central authority to maintain order and prevent conflict. According to Hobbes, individuals in the state of nature are driven by self-interest and a constant struggle for power, leading to a condition of war of all against all.
