    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

In the state of nature‚ there is no above authority or government for everyone’s safety and peaceful living; everyone is in their own matter‚ and there in no unity of people even living in the same city. Every individual is judge of their own deeds. Strong individual is allowed to crush the weak in any

    KANT AND EQUALITY Some readers of this essay will have become impatient by now; because they believe that the problem that perplexes me has been definitively solved by Immanuel Kant. It is certainly true that Kant held strong opinions on this matter. In an often-quoted passage‚ he reports a personal conversion from elitism: “I am myself a researcher by inclination. I feel the whole thirst for knowledge and the eager unrest to move further on into it‚ also satisfaction with each acquisition. There

    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

    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

He begins with the assertion that in the state of nature man is condemned to live a life "solitary‚ poore‚ nasty‚ brutish‚ and short."

    how critical thought exists within an infinite amount of creativity with no principles but in search of them. Lyotard understands the Kantian sublime as a way to comply with the standards that critically analyze postmodernism using deconstruction. Kant differentiated the sublime between the vastness and greatness and the dynamic sublime.
