It was during year 7 that Dusk and I met‚ we were the dorky guys that didn’t have anyone to talk to‚ so I decided to say “hi”. I’ve never regretted a moment after it. We lived so far from each other however that didn’t stop us from accomplishing the “fun” things. We had sleepovers frequently which contained watching hours of star wars‚ reading comics and studying.

Two of the greatest philosophers of all time are Thomas Hobbes and Niccolo Machiavelli. Hobbes was born in 1588 in England‚ when absolutism was taking hold in Europe. His most famous work was "Leviathan"‚ written in 1651. Hobbes discussed the ideal state and innate laws of man and nature‚ among other things. Machiavelli was born in Italy in 1469‚ a time when his home country was ruled mostly by foreign powers. His hometown‚ Florence‚ was still independent. Machiavelli’s most famous work‚ "The

of nature by Hobbes and Rousseau and how these portrayals are reflected in their political theories. Thomas Hobbes and Jean-Jacques Rousseau were philosophers of the mid 17th and mid 18th centuries respectively and proposed two political theories - in “Leviathan” (Hobbes‚ 1651)‚ “The Second Discourse” (Rousseau‚ 1755) and the “Social Contract” (Rousseau‚ 1762) - that were very different but that once analysed‚ could be argued to have common characteristics and goals. Both Hobbes and Rousseau

Thomas Hobbes and John Locke both sought to explain the behavior of humans in the purest form. In comparing and contrasting their theories‚ one begins to realize the extent to which these philosophers agreed and disagreed. While Hobbes states that human nature is malicious and requires a sovereign‚ Locke explains how humans are benelovant and pastoral with no motivation to advance. In Hobbes’ theory of a natural state‚ people live with no sense of government or law‚ forcing society into chaos and

theorists that had very strong views on the social contract were Thomas Hobbes and Immanuel Kant. Although both of these theorists believed in a social contract they both had different views on what it exactly meant. Hobbes was a different kind of philosopher that had a very pessimistic view on humanity. In Hobbes’ book the Leviathan‚ he believed that humans were naturally nasty creatures and needed to be regulated in a society. For Hobbes one thing he also believed in was Utilitarianism‚ which is the desire

Locke and Hobbes disagree almost entirely on everything. I would say that Locke thinks of human nature as essentially good while Hobbes views it as essentially evil. Furthermore‚ for Hobbes people leave a state of nature for security‚ as they are driven by year. For Locke‚ however‚ the driving force is possessions and material wealth: we will live better if we form a society instead of living separately in a state of nature. I think their philosophy is different because of they background and also

Thomas Hobbes‚ the son of an English vicar in the late 16th Century‚ approaches the questions of politics and human nature in a unique way‚ but there are definite similarities between his work and the work of earlier philosophers. Hobbes’ political theory coincides with the political theory of Niccolò Machiavelli‚ and yet differs in the theory of virtù. Hobbes follows Machiavelli in some important aspects of political theory‚ and yet expands upon or discards Machiavelli’s ideas in other important

Machiavelli and Hobbes To be successful‚ one must have the appearance of virtuousness‚ but not necessarily be virtuous. At least‚ this appears to be true according to Niccolo Machiavelli’s works. Machiavelli’s idea of the virtuous republican citizen may be compared to Hobbes’ idea of a person who properly understands the nature and basis of sovereign political power. Hobbes’ ideas seem to suggest that most anyone can claim rightful authority as there is a belief in God‚ and one can under Hobbes‚ claim
