State Of Nature
December 6, 2008
Hobbes states that the “State of Nature” is probably the worst state a Human Being can be in. The state of nature is actually a state of a society that has no government and no laws, so every man can do whatever, whenever they please. Hobbes is generally correct that this state would actually lead to a state of war, because without any governing body, people would be in a primitive state, where they would fight, kill, steal from anyone and everyone to survive. Ultimately leading to war amongst every other person. People would be taking over other peoples houses to shelter themselves from the weather not caring about what happens to the original owners/builders of the house. They will steal Food from anyone just because they have it. So in general this would be one of the worst state a human can be in, because he would be constantly at war with other people trying to protect what he has, whether it be food, shelter, or clothes.
