Why did Thomas Hobbes reject Aristotle’s view that humans are naturally political?

Thomas Hobbes rejected Aristotle’s view that humans are naturally "political animals" because he believed that human beings are, by nature, antisocial and unsuited for political life.12

While Aristotle argued that humans realize their full potential only by participating in the polis, Hobbes contended that humans are driven by self-interested passions—specifically competition, vanity, and the desire for glory. According to Hobbes, these natural impulses lead individuals to denigrate one another and pursue their own interests at the expense of others, resulting in a state of nature characterized by a "war of all against all".1234

Hobbes argued that political order is not a natural state but an artificial construct. It is only possible when individuals rationally choose to abandon their natural liberty and delegate their power to a sovereign through a social contract. For Hobbes, society is not a natural outgrowth of human biology or moral development, but a necessary mechanism for survival and the avoidance of violent death.123
