PHL265H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Private Good, Rationality
Document Summary
No justice because one should never give up ones own reason. Keep ones covenants only when in ones interest. Follow my own self judgement- in the state of nature. Hobbes reply: rationality is from the point of view of deliberation. One cannot count on the errors of others. The foole needs to be much smarter than other people if he wants to follow his own self judgement. There must be a great power erected. Small number of people together is not enough- small additions to small numbers can make. The common good and the private good are the same for the bees. No distinction between injury and damage for the bees. The agreement for the bees is a natural agreement, for human beings arti cial. We have con icts that the bees don"t have. Human beings need through an assembly reduce their will to the will of one. They combine all their power in one man.
