Political Influential Thinker Thomas Hobbes

I. Limited Government Limited Government- the philosophy that government does not have absolute authority. Hobbes did not believe there should be many limits on government, but he did not think that a sovereign could do anything that would injure his or her subjects.

-What image is the artist trying to portray in this picture? -Whose rights are being violated and why? -Who is responsible for the Trail of Tears? -What is the relationship between the “Trail of Tears” and the idea of limited gov’t?

II. State of Nature State of nature- the philosophy regarding how humans would act in their most basic state without a civil government. Hobbes believed the state of nature in which man lived before the formation of society was founded on a savage selfishness, which drove man to obtain pleasure without concern for justice or mercy toward other men.

-What event in history does this image portray? -Do you believe that this picture presents a man in the state of nature? Why or why not?

III. State of War State of war-Hobbes believed that in the state of nature, people were always at war with one another, a war of all against all. Each individual was endowed with the right to do anything they pleased and people were in constant fear for their lives.

-What was the conflict represented in this picture? - Do you believe the fighting between the Israeli’s and the Palestinians illustrates a state of war?
