Locke And Hobbes: Are Humans, Good Or Bad?

Decent Essays
Humans, good or bad?
I believe that people's human nature is neutral, a mix between virtuous and detrimental, because people's first nature is to be goodwilling but their actions don't always reflect that. I agree with statement of both Locke's and Hobbes. They both believe that in some way there should be some sort of government to keep people in line. Altogether I agree with the beliefs of both philosophers, Locke's and Hobbes. I disagree with Hobbes when he says people are born with a mean and brutal spirit because I believe all babies are born with a pure and sinless heart. Nevertheless I believe that people's perspective are different, and that they are all raised different. So some people version of good may differ

    I truly believe that genetics are by far one of the biggest factors in determining the action and/or morals of an individual. In this debate, I personally agree with Thomas Hobbes in the idea that the nature of man is evil and as he states, “Everything humans beings voluntarily do is for pleasure or for self-preservation.” I feel this concept is heavily shown through the fact that all human beings react differently if put in the same situation. This shows that even though one's environment will be the same as someone else’s, people's personality determines the morals and decisions made by said individual. For example, some criminals have safe surroundings and good environments, but still make the conscious decision to commit a felony.…

    The Human Race and Essentialism: An Illusion When people are born, they are not essentially good or evil at heart. People come into the world as objective creatures, and their environment influences what kind of person they grow up to be. People can be compared to a lightly painted canvas, and the environment is the brush that adds color- the good and the bad. In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, the idea of being good or evil at heart can be observed though the characters such as Scout Finch and Bob Ewell.…

    The founders of the Declaration of Independence sought to create a government that would be formed from the ideas and concepts that they had encountered through their various readings and studies. John Locke and Thomas Hobbes are by far the most influential thinkers of the Constitution and continue to affect American thought even today. Many of John Locke’s ideas directly correlate with those included in the Declaration of Independence yet they are reworded to suit the needs of the new government.…

    Human nature can be seen from two perspectives. The wicked nature of humans can see through William Golding's novel Lord of the Flies where a group of British boys becomes stranded on an island without grown ups and attempt to create a society with rules, but end of failing because one boy becomes unreasonable and violent. Philosopher Locke believes differently from Golding saying that men can be good if we reason and treat each other fairly. Despite their differences, both authors believe that a society without rules can lead to its own self-destruction. Golding illustrates how people can, in the absence of government, revert to a primitive state of nature and thereby make unreasonable decisions, similar to what Locke argues.…

    Starting off, they each had a distinctive understanding of human nature from one another. To Rousseau, humans in primitive times were "noble savages" and it is "civilization" that turned man into a "beast". Conversely, Hobbes believed that being "civilized" is a positive trait and being uncivilized or a "savage" is bad. Concerning human nature, Rousseau theorized that humans were innately good and generous, before being corrupted by the vices of civilization. Human life was most likely peaceful and compassionate as described in his opening line, “Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains.”…

    Most people take for granted many things we are afforded in this day and age. One of those things we take for granted is the government. Without said government there would be no laws to provide order and security, and we would be in a state of nature that would result in a state of war. A state of nature, regardless of who is detailing its differences, is basically a life without government rule leaving people to act out of self-preservation. A place without government is a place of chaos with everyone acting of their own accord.…

    Everything started with the philosophers John Locke and Thomas Hobbes whom had different thoughts. Locke believed that by having a government the people would be allowed to have protection for themselves and their natural rights. If there was no government it would lead to the state of nature. Which Locke and Hobbes both believed it was a horrible idea because there were no rules.

    Why is it that so many people say that Hobbes has a “negative” outlook when it comes to various things like human nature and government? I feel Hobbes sees man as he truly is. However, the only reason that people view it as negative is that it detracts from the rather rosy picture many try to paint humans to be. People don 't realize Hobbes accounts for the true nature of people and it shows in the way he frames governing. Right and wrong is a subjective guideline that changes from person to person.…

    Hobbes represents one extreme; Goldman strongly refutes Hobbes and finds herself supporting the other extreme, while Locke’s view of human nature fits somewhere in the between the two. Hobbes’ end of the spectrum views humans as sophisticated machines. He makes minimal assumptions in constructing his state of nature, and as a result, Hobbes delivers the strongest and most convincing interpretation of human nature.…

    Hobbes, on the other hand, thinks that people only care about power and appetite. We want certain things and we want to get power to get those things. Hobbes’ view is that there is no such thing as responsibility. Moreover, we look at the state of nature. Locke stated that the state of nature is the state of no government; law that obliges everyone and reason.…

    Hobbes Vs. Rousseau

    Hobbes argues that men are innately selfish, while Rousseau believes that humans are naturally good beings. Rousseau argues that the “nature” presented by Hobbes is in fact “unnatural.” Hobbes argues that man is evil, that government is needed in order to protect the public, that the government should be all-powerful, and that power should not be shared. In contrast, Rousseau argues that man is good and that society is the reason that man has been misbehaving, that the government’s purpose is to protect the social contract, that the government should be able to be overthrown, and that power should be shared and direct. The main divergence in these two educated philosophers theories is the fact that Hobbes believes that society is needed in order to prevent mankind from a “human nature” that is beastly and savage, while Rousseau argues that human nature is inherently good, however when man come together in society, they corrupt…
