1741 The Nature of the Beast: The Function of Morality in the World of Hobbes. Any discussion of the function of moral rules in a social environment such as that envisioned by Thomas Hobbes in his Leviathan (1651) must first define exactly what is meant by the term "moral rules". This is because the society or "commonwealth" that Hobbes employs as his theoretical model has no place for morality or moral rules as they are popularly defined. Rather, as this paper will argue, morality in the commonwealth of Hobbes is a product of self-interested humanity. In such an context, as will be seen, the closest analogue to moral rules would be the "civil laws" of the commonwealth which come into being through the "social contract" agreed to by the constituent members of the commonwealth. Finally, the paper will conclude with an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of Hobbes' ethical theory. 5.5 pgs. 6 f/c. 1b.

1742 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.

4268 Interpretations of Law: Hobbes and Hart. In Leviathan, Thomas Hobbes presents an understanding of the law as a concept that distances human beings from their natures, thus saving the integrity of civilization. Hobbes envisions the human being as naturally flawed and brutish and it is only the development of law and the strict adherence to these principles that a healthy civilization can exist. Hobbes argues, moreover, that situational legislation would be the decline of the integrity of a civilization. English legal philosopher H.L.A. Hart disagrees with Hobbes on this point. Hart argues for the privacy of one's personal conduct and states that if it does not infringe upon the rights of others, it should not be subject to public legislation. Hart relies strongly on the notion of "internal perspective" as a concept, which establishes the parameters of obligation for a legal system. 5 pgs. Bibliography lists 1 source.
