This made it easy for them to be conquered as Philip of Macedonia and then later the Romans did. They didn’t put up much of a defense in either of these cases because they were too busy fighting each other to see that there was a…

Hobbes’ major achievement to political philosophy is called the ‘social contract theory.’ First of all, Hobbes had a different view of human’s nature as Aristotle to start from. He saw human nature was to be tamed by politics, not exercised. According to Aristotle, The nature of human was to be completed and flourished through community and politics (SEP, 2002).
