Document Summary
Pol200 lecture 16 hobbes, leviathan chapters 6-13. Of man: the motive or passionate powers (chapters 6-9) Human beings have two kinds of motion: vital motions animal 1. Motions that keep us alive (flow of blood: voluntary motions animal 2. Motions imagined in our mind, to speak, to go, to do. Like all motions these motions remain in motions until we die . Response to these sensations is a form of motion. Human behavior will be determined by sensations, we not only receive sense impressions, but we move to action by these senses of impressions. Appetites change continually, can also be different for different people. We all have aversions however not for the same things: good and evil are just simple terms to define what we like/dislike hobbes. All judgements of good and bad are reducible to the statement of quantity of pleasure and pain.
