Document Summary
Laws of nature: the emergence of civil society, the renunciation of our rights, and the transfer of those rights to the sovereign, hobbes on authorization and authorship. Review of hobbes: the natural world and the human body are both in a state of perpetual motion. All mental phenomenon"s" can be explained as the motion of material particles. Aristotle describes in the ethics) life is perpetual motion: the contentment is all an illusion. If there is no good in human life: there is no end or something worth fighting for. Eudemonia is something used by those with power to trick the rest of us into fighting on their behalf. If we can speak of the good in hobbes its in a much more restrained sense. Hobbes thinks of happiness as obtaining our appetite. Success is the fulfillment of the desire for that moment.
