Final answer:

Hobbes' social contract theory posits that humans participate in social contracts to escape the brutality of the state of nature and establish peace and order through cooperation and adherence to rules.


Explanation:

Hobbes believed that humans participate in a social contract primarily to avoid the chaos and brutality of the state of nature, where life was 'solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.' By entering into this contract, individuals give up their natural rights and power to a monarch in exchange for peace, stability, and order. The social contract ensures that people cooperate and follow rules, thus preventing conflicts and promoting societal harmony.
