Document Summary
Thomas hobbes an english philosopher who was born in westport, england in april 1588 and died in 1679. He was interested in political philosophy and history. He was significant to social science today mainly because of his exploration of the human condition. We study this to have a clear understanding of his philosophy which says This exploration says things such as the motives or actions of humans are a internal bio-mechanical process. In natural world, no justice/injustice, everyone can do whatever they want for themselves. Humans are naturally equal in power of mind & body so no one has advantage over other. Immiseration- is a marxist theory" which was brought up by heilbroner that stated that to have a capitalist production it requires a decrease in real wages and worsening of work conditions. In my view this is something unconfirmed but the world may well be working its way to immiseration and it is important to know what it is.
