The Purpose of Hobbes

Many may be wondering what the purpose of Hobbes is here. After all, it can be a strange reading. The purpose is to establish a baseline and encounter certain concepts that we will find again and again.

I) The baseline I want to focus is on, is what Hobbes calls “war”. What is it? Why is it? How can it be avoided?

II) The central concepts Hobbes, and business, uses are: liberty, rights, contract, and justice. These are just to name a few.

Now you perhaps can see, or already did, the juxtaposition. People use the languages of both I and II to talk about business. Are we being realistic? Are we being sloppy?

More to come ....
