Hobbes Homework

Hobbes Homework: 

Hobbes: Leviathan (1651) 
1. Bullet point the key aspects of Hobbes’ view of humans in the ‘state of nature’. Then turn the bullets as prose.

2. Explain Hobbes idea of a ‘contract’ and how he justifies it. You could bullet point this first as well if you think that helps.

If this seems irksome then consider the people around the world prepared to take a bullet for some kind of 'social contract' with a legitimate government!!
