“We should give our obedience to an unaccountable sovereign […] otherwise what awaits us is a “state of nature” that closely resembles civil war- a situation of universal insecurity” (iep.utm.edu). These words express Thomas Hobbes’ version of philosophical absolutism. He believes that a world without a government yields disorder and lunacy. Hobbes‚ in his book The Leviathan (1651)‚ communicates a crucial need: a ruler who can keep the world in order‚ a feared‚ all-powerful ruler. He concludes in

Thomas G. Guarino begins his article “The God of Philosophy and of the Bible: Theological Reflections on Regensburg” by suggesting that there is several attempts to interpret what Pope Benedict XVI addressed at University of Regensburg.

In the year 326 B.C.E.‚ Rome outlawed the use of persons as security for loans. No longer could people enter a form of slavery in order to pay back the loans that they could not afford.

The Leviathan In “The Leviathan‚” Thomas Hobbes develops the concept of liberty by using mechanistic philosophy. The Leviathan is a symbolic artificial person created when power is combined into one body that enacts a sovereign to represent a common will (Hobbes‚ 222).

In the state of nature‚ Hobbes defines liberty as the absence of external impediments. Without impediments

The term "utopia" is defined as both "no place" and "perfect place." In Utopia‚ Thomas More creates a utopic society centering around communistic ideas. Utopia is an ideal communistic society that abolishes private property.
