Moral Rules and Hobbes' s ;Leviathan;: The Establishment of a Human Morality.
This paper will show how Hobbes's view of the function and use of morality in Western society was a more complex one than a initial reading of his work would suggest. The moral rules which govern the social order re-visioned by Hobbes come in the form of what Hobbes termed "natural laws" which determine all human behaviour. However, any analysis of these first necessitates an analysis of Hobbes's social philosophy in general. 4 pgs. 5 f/c. 1b.
