We find in Hobbes an early version of constructivism: the notion that human reality is based on institutions, is constructed and virtual in nature, a linguistic artifact. You can hear more about constructivism in the lectures by Yuval Noah Harari right at the bottom of the Introduction. Or you can (but only if you're philosophically minded) read this lecture by John Searle, one of the major contemporary philosophers in the English-speaking word, on The Unity of Reality: Why we live in one world at most —and how it is made mostly of fictions, conventions, and linguistic effects. Hobbes, too, emphasized the crucial importance of social contracts in the constitution of our human, social, and political reality.
