More From The Buckets
I love Thomas Hobbs arguments for the need of a strong government to ease and control the entrance of man into society. For without government, men will degenerate into their natural state and fight a “war of all for all against all”. From what little of his work I’ve read, and I imagine it suffers something in translation from 1600’s english & latin, I don’t think he quite grasped how that “ease and control entrance of man into society” could be perverted into “completely shut out men from society”, nor do I think he grasped how big, mobile, chaotic, and apathetic that society could become.
