Hobbes+Question+2

Using actual quotes and your explanation of them, answer the following using Ch. XIII pp.5-6 of the packet.

1. What is the 'state of nature' like? Man is at war with every man. State of nature is waring, anarchy, chaotic.

2. Where does right, wrong, and justice come from?

3. What is the origin of the desire for peace? Fear of death

Do you agree? No. i think the state of nature is harmony, balance, and peace. I think that war comes out of a disturbance of that balance, whether it be by a corrupt human or natural disaster. Humans, for the most part, are good by nature. of course there are some people who are insane, not in their right mind, there has to be, it is bound to happen. if there weren't, than a sane, rational person wouldn't exist either. when these insane people attain power, that is when war happens. otherwise, i like to think that humans are inherently good.
