Hobbes Theory Research

Theorists and other historians have developed some core knowledge that tries to explain some key knowledge on the historical solutions. The development of historical knowledge is deemed very necessary in developing some core explanations in historical contexts. There are quite a number of historians and theorists who have developed some key beliefs and theories that have changed the face of the world. The aim of this study is to describe the various theories and knowledge that were developed by Hobbes. One of the key historians who have developed some great historical knowledge and theories trying to explain and depict the historical knowledge to the outside world is Thomas Hobbes. Hobbes developed some theories in different paths that are the basic things of the common society (Hobbes 109).

Hobbes Believe on Government and the Man Hobbes shared some common knowledge and what he believed to be the best form of government that touched on the lives and on the needs of the people. Hobbes was a great believer of the monarchical form of government. He believed that the best form of government that touched on the lives and on the general outlook of the people was the monarchical governments and that the monarchies were centered on the people. This argument on the form of the government that Hobbes developed was based on his writing in his book the Leviathan. One of the major ideas that shaped Hobbes ideas on various things in the society including the form of government adopted in the society was largely shaped by English civil war that subsequently led to the beheading of King Charles.

This formed the idea to Hobbes that mans’ life is fully a mess and it was largely characterized by war and chaos that deters the human beings to live and coexist well with others. This became the major point that Hobbes used to diminish and create a generally negative and pessimistic view that Hobbes had on human life. Therefore, the main form of government to stamp out and deal with the careless nature of human beings and the various issues that touched on the negativity of the human life was to develop and apply the absolute monarchy form of government that could deal with all the prime defects and other shortcomings of the human life. Therefore, to fully encompass his belief that human beings were fully short-sighted and could not be trusted, Hobbes also developed a belief in the social contract theory.

Hobbes is also the person who developed the idea and the developed the natural law which has become the main idea used the modern philosophers and scientist. The principle of the natural law demands that the society should be in line with the human principles that can apply the powers if the outside principle to govern the code of conduct for the human population. The moral obligation is what is instrumental in understanding what God requires of human beings and how the humans should associate and be in line with the demands and the stipulations that are created by God to govern the human nature. This is the basis of the natural law that can create and develop the best method of discerning what God requires human beings.

Hobbes, however, believes that the laws are given by nature rather than by God and what God requires if human beings are far much less than what nature requires of us. According to Hobbes the sovereignty of the government guidelines everything and those human beings are the subjects that should work towards respecting and upholding the sovereignty of the government it all spheres. It is a mutual promise and a and a voluntary contract that everyone must have total support and must be devoted towards respecting the authority and working towards respecting the law and upholding the sovereignty of the land and the government at all costs and this will benefit both the humans and the government which is in place.

Hobbes was a great believer of the liberty of human beings. He developed various ideas that aimed at promoting and upholding the liberty of human beings. Liberty, as defined by Hobbes, is the freedom of motion that humans have in the society. His information and historical documents on the development and the application of the absolute monarchy as forms of government was one of the things that received wider reception in some countries. The theory developed by Hobbes on the forms of government became a widely acclaimed thing in society and especially in Paris. The theory of natural law developed by Hobbes was also one of the main things that became mostly applied in society. It is one of the common things that have become a major thing in the historical perspective of the people and this has become one of the things that attracted the development and the inclusion of its concepts even in the modern society.

It is the point that was developed and it has become one of the major points that became an interest of many scholars including the scientists and other physicians. Later, Locke develops his own idea on the general type of government that he felt was most important in depicting and governing the people. In this case, Locke developed a theory that supported the representative form of government. This was against the idea that had been developed by Hobbes in his early writings. This formed the basis of Hobbes more writings that opposed the work of John Locke (Dietz 154). Critics of Hobbes Theory As much as the Hobbes theory and his core teachings and writings received some wider acclamation for its various issues and methods that it has included in his teachings, Hobbes theory and teachings also received some key criticisms for his many teachings.

The writings of Wallis in response to the teachings and the writings of Hobbes has become one of the core things that have been seen as the greatest mathematical feuds. Wallis was a mathematician who was fully aware of various mathematical concepts and he felt the writings of Hobbes derailed the mathematical contexts and the truth in the mathematical world. Other groups that were totally against the idea of Hobbes were the atheist. The atheist movement is against the teachings and they believe in God. They have become the main people that have become the common people who are against the teachings and the writings developed by Hobbes. The developments and the idea of the Hobbes theory have continued to make an impact in the society today.
