Below is the text I wrote in Facebook. I don’t have enough readers there and I need to show in Gevluef what is going on with me. I think something negative about Thomas Hobbes. I wrote:
Thomas Hobbes’s Philosophy, mostly political, has a social contract theory: He introduced a social contract theory based on the relation between the absolute sovereign and the civil society. (RT)
I’m reading his book: Leviathan. Some of his critics argue with him over the “Squaring of the Circle.”
His “sovereign” is preceded by a great work of some kind. The unfolding drama is a “Story”
Thomas Hobbes is still a service. Thomas Hobbes’s great trilogy; Three Something: De Corpore (1655; “Concerning Body”), De Homine (1658; “Concerning Man”), De Cive (1642; “Concerning the Citizen”)
An older post about Thomas Hobbes: https://gevluef.com/2009/02/20/thomas-hobbes/
The accepted philosophy for his time is John Locke. He wrote An Essay Concerning Human Understanding. Locke wrote so much there that I need help with it. For example I think John Locke is writing for Pi in this text: https://enlightenment.supersaturated.com/johnlocke/BOOKIIIChapterIII.html See paragraph 6: How general words are made. …How come we, by general terms?
John Locke’s An Essay Concerning Human Understanding is the best choice for Philosophy from this time. Of the two philosophers John Locke would make a better choice of study.
