I don’t hate ALL Philosophy

So apparently I am getting a bit of a wrap of hating philosophy. And although Hobbes just insulted me to the very core, it isn’t ALL philosophy, just him. Rousseau on the other hand, I thought was fantastic.His points were … Continue reading → Continue reading →

What the heck are the “laws of nature” for Hobbes?

  No, I don’t mean which laws of nature does he list–that’s easy. The first two, in Chapter 14, state: 1.

We should be willing to transfer our natural right to all things in the state of […] Continue reading →

Couple questions about Hobbes’ Leviathan. A bit late, but hey, maybe something can be made out of them. 1. How much does fear play a part in Hobbes notion of the state? This is in regards to the idea of man … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Ok so I still don’t fully understand Leviathan, but so far this is the most interesting of the philosophical books we’ve read so far, in my opinion. Although, there are a couple ideas that I don’t full agree with (probably … Continue reading → Continue reading →
