Kant and Hobbes had different understandings of the issue of morality. Kant took a more rationalistic view of morality, while Hobbes was more empirical in this regard. However, both proceeded from a subjective point. The understandings of these two philosophers differ in terms of reason, understanding human nature, as well as understanding morality. This paper

Crime & Punishment according Thomas Hobbes

This may seem a large claim. For one thing it is generally assumed (and I would not deny it) that the principal philosophies of punishment are contradictory alternatives. How, then, can they all be contained within one philosophical system? The answer given here is that they cannot with any degree of logical consistency, „and that the key to understanding Hobbes is to recognise the

Abstract This chapter considers Hobbes’s account of law, concluding that it differs from legal positivist theories as well as traditional natural law theories. Law depends on a prior normative relationship between lawgiver and those to whom law applies; the latter must have an obligation to obey the former. This obligation to obey the lawgiver must issue from the rational ABSTRACT Hobbes’s account of the sovereign’s right to punish in Leviathan has led to a longstanding interpretive dispute. The debate is prompted by the fact that, prima facie, Hobbes makes two inconsistent claims: subjects (i) authorize all the acts of the sovereign, and are hence authors of their own punishment, yet (ii) have the liberty to resist such punishment. I Thomas Hobbes laid the philosophical groundwork for political modernity by purging natural right of the residues of stoic and medieval morality. He rejected altogether the idea of natural right based on the reliability of moral motivations or moral exhortation, on man’s elusive natural sociability, or on the exogenous authority of Gods’s admittedly ambiguous commands. He

The 17 th Century English philosopher Thomas Hobbes is now widely regarded as one of a handful of truly great political philosophers, whose masterwork Leviathan rivals in significance the political writings of Plato, Aristotle, Locke, Rousseau, Kant, and Rawls.

In contrast to Hobbes‘ earlier works, this section contains an implicit but important account of natural rights (called “true liberties”) in society and a corresponding set of restrictions on the proper use of law and

Many have questioned the legitimacy of capital punishment in a legal system that fails to provide every legal subject with equal treatment. Whereas we can suspend

Locke’s theory of punishment is thus central to his view of politics and part of what he considered innovative about his political philosophy. But he also referred to his account of punishment as a “very strange doctrine” (2.9), presumably because it ran against the assumption that only political sovereigns could punish.

The state of nature concept was also central to the philosophy of Rousseau. He took a different stance to both Hobbes and Locke on human nature, and the state of nature. Like Hobbes and Locke, he agreed that the most basic feature of human nature was the motivation for self-preservation.
