Extractions: Thomas Hobbes: Leviathan, Chaps 13-14, 1651 CHAPTER XIII: OF THE NATURAL CONDITION OF MANKIND AS CONCERNING THEIR FELICITY AND MISERY NATURE hath made men so equal in the faculties of body and mind as that, though there be found one man sometimes manifestly stronger in body or of quicker mind than another, yet when all is reckoned together the difference between man and man is not so considerable as that one man can thereupon claim to himself any benefit to which another may not pretend as well as he. For as to the strength of body, the weakest has strength enough to kill the strongest, either by secret machination or by confederacy with others that are in the same danger with himself. From this equality of ability arise the quality of hope in the attaining of our ends. And therefore if any two men desire the same thing, which nevertheless they cannot both enjoy, they become enemies; and in the way to their end (which is principally their own conservation, and sometimes their delectation only) endeavour to destroy or subdue one another. And from hence it comes to pass that where an invader hath no more to fear than another man's single power, if one plant, sow, build, or possess a convenient seat, others may probably be expected to come prepared with forces united to dispossess and deprive him, not only of the fruit of his labour, but also of his life or liberty. And the invader again is in the like danger of another.

Extractions: Hobbes developed a materialist and highly pessimistic philosophy that was denounced in his own day and later, but has had a continuing influence on Western political thought. His Leviathan (1651) presents a bleak picture of human beings in the state of nature, where life is "nasty, brutish, and short." Fear of violent death is the principal motive that causes people to create a state by contracting to surrender their natural rights and to submit to the absolute authority of a sovereign. Although the power of the sovereign derived originally from the people, Hobbes said-challenging the doctrine of the divine right of kings-the sovereign's power is absolute and not subject to review by either subjects or ecclesiastical powers. Hobbes's concept of the social contract led to investigations by other political theorists, notably Locke, Spinoza, and Rousseau, who formulated their own radically different theories of the social contract.

Extractions: Influences Education Career Ideas and Contributions Thomas Hobbes was one of the first modern Western thinkers, the first in the line of British empiricists. He is also known for his English verse translations of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey . His writing provided a secular explanation of the political state, and denoted the departure in English philosophy from Scholasticism with its religious emphasis. Hobbes believed that understanding the psychology of individuals was necessary before one could develop an understanding of the state and government. He believed that humans are fearful and predatory, and must submit completely to the supremacy of the state in both secular and religious concerns. Hobbes asserted that there is a difference between knowledge and faith, which resulted in charges of atheistic tendencies. He is considered the first modern social psychologist because of his emphasis on the relationship between the individual and society. (

http://www.uoregon.edu/~rbear/hobbes/leviathan.html

Extractions: To describe the nature of this artificial man, I will consider Concerning the first, there is a saying much usurped of late, that wisdom is acquired, not by reading of books, but of men. But let one man read another by his actions never so perfectly, it serves him only with his acquaintance, which are but few. He that is to govern a whole nation must read in himself, not this, or that particular man; but mankind: which though it be hard to do, harder than to learn any language or science; yet, when I shall have set down my own reading orderly and perspicuously, the pains left another will be only to consider if he also find not the same in himself. For this kind of doctrine admitteth no other demonstration. THE FIRST PART OF MAN CHAPTER I OF SENSE CONCERNING the thoughts of man, I will consider them first singly, and afterwards in train or dependence upon one another. Singly, they are every one a representation or appearance of some quality, or other accident of a body without us, which is commonly called an object. Which object worketh on the eyes, ears, and other parts of man's body, and by diversity of working produceth diversity of appearances. The original of them all is that which we call sense, (for there is no conception in a man's mind which hath not at first, totally or by parts, been begotten upon the organs of sense). The rest are derived from that original.

Hobbes, Thomas
Glossary of Religion and Philosophy Short Biography of thomas hobbes.
http://atheism.about.com/library/glossary/general/bldef_hobbes.htm

Extractions: Thomas Hobbes is best known for his book Leviathan Hobbes' perspective on human nature was pessimistic and he argued that the natural state of human affairs was one of constant struggle and violence - something which a strong government is able to overcome. Thus, he argued that obedience even to an arbitrary and unpleasant government is necessary to avoid the even greater evils of chaos and anarchy - the war of "every man against every man" which would exist in nature without the state. Also as a result, his description of the functions of the state are based on how it can achieve those goals. Hobbes is also well known for the fact that he based his analysis of human nature on purely materialistic premises, refusing to resort to any divine agency in order to explain why humans act the way they do. According to Hobbes, "the Universe, that is the whole mass of things that are, is corporeal, that is to say body." The whole universe was treated as a great machine, and he did not feel the need to assume the existence of any "ghost in the machine, as did Descartes. He thus argued for a form of determinism in human conduct, although he accepted a form of compatibilism between deterministic nature and human free will.

Extractions: For Hobbes, the difference between order and disorder was stark. In the state of nature, ungoverned man lived life in "continual fear, and danger of violent death". The only way out of this "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short" existence, he said, was to relinquish all your freedom and submit yourself to one all powerful absolute sovereign.
