Hobbes

    Thomas Hobbes was a famous english philosopher born in 1588 and died in 1679. Thomas Hobbes's most well known work that contained his views and contributions to the Enlightenment was Leviathan he wrote this in 1651. Hobbes views about people was that they were naturally selfish and wicked, this is represented in the quotation ''Moral philosophy is nothing else but the science of what is good, and evil, in the conversation, and society of mankind. Good, and evil, are names that signify our appetites, and aversions; which in different tempers, customs, and doctrines of men, are different.'' This represents his beliefs that people are wicked and selfish.  He Also thought that people were animals and needed to be controlled. Hobbes thoght that laws should be a necessary part of society because he said, "the life of a man solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short. ... the coniditioin of man ... is a condition of war of everyone against everyone.'' It deals  with his ideas because he thinks without goverment the world would be crazy. Another quote would be '' The source of every crime, is some defect of the understanding; or some error in reasoning; or some sudden force of passions.'' It also deals with his views because laws are the creations of people reasoning with eachother in the form of a goverment that makes them and enforces them so people don't become their natural selves. He thought people should give up some of their own rights and consent to be governed by making a social contract with the Federal System so they are'nt tempted to do bad things because they know the consequences of their own actions.
