hobbes

I enjoyed reading about Hobbes and his pessimistic views. I thought that it was interesting how he sid that every man is equal in power and that even the week can kill the strong. Hobbes wants people to go on past experiences to compare to his views. He also mentioned that where there is no common power there is no law. Meaning that there should be a common power because it is disorganized without one. The right of nature is the liberty any person has to do anything in there power for self preservation. His first two laws of fundamental law are to seek peace and follow it and to lay down the right of nature. Meaning that you should not go by doing anything to get what you want was long as others agree to do the same. I enjoyed the reading more than the past readings.
