prompt: Once
we institute
a sovereign, according to Hobbes, we owe
this person
total obedience. Why? What are the limits
to the obedience we owe, and what explains these limits?
In answering, you should attempt to grasp the author’s understanding of the human
being
and the requisites for
our
happiness, especially as these pertain
to political arrangements.
Part of your answer should explain
the role of the
sovereign, as Hobbes understands it,
in curing the “ill condition”
into which nature has placed
us.
The limit on
length
means that your
presentation of Hobbes’s account will be somewhat incomplete.
However,
early
assignments
are
preliminary
exercises,
intended to be steps along the way
Only focus on the book Leviathan- Hobbes to answer the prompt. The word limit of 500 does not include the title and citation
