Thomas Hobbes

Thomas Hobbes was born at Westport, next to Malmesbury in Wiltshire, on April 5,1588. He received his college education at Oxford University in England. Hobbes travelled to other European countries several times to meet scientists and to study different forms of government. During his time outside of England, Hobbes became interested in why people allowed themselves to be ruled and what would be the best form of government for England. In 1651, Hobbes wrote his famous book "Leviathan or Matter, Forme, and Power of a Commonwealth Ecclesiastical and Civil". He describes that people were naturally wicked and could not be trusted to govern. Therefore, Hobbes believed that an absolute monarchy- a government that gave all power to a king or queen- was best. Hobbes wrote many other famous books, for example "De Cive", "Historia Ecclesiastica" or The History of the Causes of Civil Wars of England". In the age of 84 he wrote his autobiography in Latin verse and translated in the following years Homers "Iliad" and "Odyssey" in English. He died on December 4, 1679.

According to Thomas Hobbes this means that the life is a life with a fight all against all. The time when there is no war is called peace. But there wasn't in the history much time when there wasn't any fight, quarrel or war. The quarrel between Kain and Abel, the war in the first world war between France and Germany and the rest of the world or the neighbour fight between Mrs. Regina Zindler and Gerd Trogger at the "Maschendraht- Zaun". In the time of war nothing can be called unfair. In the situation of war, quarrel or fight are crime and craftiness the basic parts, where no morality exists and everyone lives in constant fear.

government leaders - would never work

But certain rules the fighters today and in the past had to follow: Until Hobbes made the demand there wasn't appearance no power who could take revenge of a bad action. Today and in the past there were society standards which should be followed. The ending of a war, fight or quarrel is an action to protect oneself or to relax, because it is too strenuous to fight over a long time.
