    Thomas Hobbes’ idea of the state of nature of humans is an understandable philosophy that can be proved true by examples in history‚ but his contract solution for the human state of nature is a ruthless and unrealistic idea that I could not get behind. I can agree with some ideas expressed in Hobbes’ state of nature‚ but his solution weds some tweaking for me to support it.
