THOMAS & HOBBES

Thomas Hobbes, a mathematician, and John Locke, a philosopher both had great ideas on
human society. Hobbes had a more pessamistic outlook on on human nature. Locke saw men
living in a state of nature which was basically reasonable an cooperative. In my opinion
hobbes ideas on human nature as being competitive prove more true. Humans are reasonably
cooperative but it is a learned trait, uneducated humans like early cave men would
compete for food, they would live in a state of war. In a condition as no education, it
would be every man for himself, there would be no culture, no technology, no society and
humans would live in continual fear and danger of death, and life would be poor, nasty,
and short.Both of these philosophers have ideas that prove true to human society but
Hobbes ideas reflect more on nature and the human society.
