  • cual es el titulo de la musica

  • Great music; what is it?

  • he was really old for his time.

  • the video is great, it just pretends to present Hobbes and some of his influences, his context. You cant pretend a whole class about his philosophy.

    I like it, its good.

  • muito muito besta....

    Nao sabe fazer video nao?

  • This video is not an argumentation... This introduce the ambient for my public during apresentation... Off course that my real argumentation of hobbes was very elaborated and never resume in simples images fragmented...

  • what a terrible and ugly presentation. Oh my god, I think that in my university, people would laugh...

  • Basic Questions: (according to Hobbes...) What is power? What is Good and Bad? What is the role of the Soverign? What is erastianism? How do we leave a State of Nature and Why? What is Liberity? What is Science? If you can't answer these questions, then You haven't read Hobbes and your not worth talking to about Hobbes. You are... epic fail
  • i will send you my essay if u want

  • What's funny is, you don't seem to even understand the basic outline of Hobbes. You confuse a state of nature with his political society, you can't seem to argue without ad hominum attacks. You may disagree with people's nature, however, you never offer any evidence to the contrary.

    What's civil war? Divided Sovereignty.

    What's your right in nature? Do anything you want.

    I mean, come on, these are essential to understand.

    Men BY THEIR NATURE are power seeking animals until they die.

  • Thomas Hobbes - the ultimate answer to anarchism.

  • not quite:

    humans are innately selfish and always follow their own interests therefore we need a Sovereign with ultimate power in order to ensure they act morally

    EXCUSE ME???? WTF

    isn't the sovereign just going to be a psychological egoist and use his ultimate power to serve his own interests?

  • isn't the sovereign just going to be a psychological egoist and use his ultimate power to serve his own interests..

    That's not up for you to decide as a subject. If you question the Soverign, then everyone else in political society has Kill rights on you.

  • so you really believe that you can give someone absolute power and it won't corrupt them absolutely?

    I think that is mad!

    Just look at Saudia Arabia as an example of this in practice

  • That's why the 'sovereign' should be an elected parliament, coupled with direct democracy.

  • those who would use the machinations of the state to serve their own ends will be most assiduous in ceasing power in an electoral system

  • Thomas Hobbes - What a dick!

  • This from an unread scholar of Tomas Hobbes I take it. How could he have been the sole dick, if it wasn't for us not giving up our rights for him not to be so. If Hobbes is a Dick then whatever he fucks is thereby an extention our own will to which noone of his subjects are permitted to complain, because you would be commenting on your own dickhead nature. Correct?

  • don't make assumptions about me thankyou very much

    I don't like the philosophy of Thomas Hobbes and I don't agree with his argument that everything humans do is out of self interest, there is no evidence for that.

  • Simply not agreeing with something is not in itself an argument. Your also misstating Hobbes by saying the his argument was that "everything humans do is out of self interest". His argument is a 'bit' more complex for you, obviously. One only has to turn to Somalia, to see how humans are in nature. Oh, I forgot youre uneducated in international relation theory. My bad, youre unequal to me you affirm the need of a sovereign to rule over you. You say there is no evidence, when in fact your lazy.

  • i am an state-abolitionist by the way (anarchist)

    re: ur comment on my profile, Thomas Hobbes was wrong about human nature, your examples are bad since humans had to be fed with propaganda & lied to in order to manipulate them to do thsoe things. Read the book Without Conscience by Robert Hare and you will understand the difference between a psychopath and a regular human being.

    If people were entirely selfish innately noone would lay down their lives for a sovereign anyway, thats madness

  • humans had to be fed with propaganda & lied to in order to manipulate them to do thsoe things... not actually true

    If people were entirely selfish innately noone would lay down their lives for a sovereign anyway... They do, sorry, and we celebrate their deaths as testement to the sovereign

  • ok i disagree people were for example lied to and told there were weapons of mass destruction, they were also told dulce et decorum est pro patria moray

  • Somalia is a terrible example, it is not an example of emergent anarchy but of a FAILED GOVERNMENT

    how do you think an eskimo would fayre in the sahara dessert?

    Hobbes believe humans were psychological egoists

    Where a man may fight another man a state will wage war upon another

    Where a man may enslave another man a nation may enslave another nation

    how do states solve problems or keep anyone in check? anyone who needs kept in check is liable to use the state to achieve their ends!

  • When a Goverment fails = Return to a state of nature "warre against everyone."

    How is a terrible exampe then?

    when it Actually proves Hobbes thesis...

    How do states solve propblems? It a question of liberty of the Soveraign, not of the subject (Ch. 18)

    Anyone who needs kept in check: we all do and are (try NOT paying taxes to the Soveraign). Use the state to achieve their ends? SHow an example. because your wrong,.

    Please Re-Read the Leviathan, go over the basic tenets.

  • Use the state to achieve their ends? SHow an example. because your wrong,.

    How about all the companies that lobby the government for favours? examples of people using the state to serve their own ends are rife in our society!!

    WHO WILL GUARD THE GUARDS???

  • belium omni cotra omnes; omul este lup pentru oameni; rezulta contract social
