Thomas Hobbes argued that the state of nature was a vile place where life was nasty, brutish, and short in his work "Leviathan." He believed that without a strong central authority to maintain order, humans would be in a constant state of conflict and warfare.
Hobbes believed that mankind would always operate in a state of nature that pitted one man against the other unless strong governmental controls such as those imposed by absolute monarchs were in place. He believed it necessary in society for man to give up some of his freedoms in a social contract that would enable him to receive civilized comforts such as mutually assured existence.
The philosopher Plato argued that talent, rather than strength or wealth, should determine a person's place in government. He believed in a meritocratic system where rulers are chosen based on their abilities and virtues, rather than on hereditary traits or material wealth.
Elizabethans viewed nature as a place filled with both beauty and danger. They believed that nature was a manifestation of divine order and could serve as a source of both inspiration and threat. Many saw nature as a reflection of God's power and majesty, but also were wary of its untamed and unpredictable aspects.
Philosophers ask fundamental questions about existence, such as: What does it mean to exist? What is the nature of reality? Do we have free will? Is there a purpose to life? These questions explore the essence of existence and our place in the universe.
The meaning of philosophy is the study of fundamental nature of knowledge. The nature of it is that it will focus mainly on reality and existence of the principles of nature in academic disciplines.
A 17th century philosopher and educator, Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) has long been famous for his pithy yet unflattering description of the natural state (or, "state of nature") of human beings as "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." He argued further that human life outside of civilization is an ongoing war of all against all.
The famous quote from Hobbes is that a man's life in a state of nature was "Nasty, Brutish, and Short." It is important to remember that the man himself wasn't short, his life was short. Hobbes was saying that we are by nature evil, rude, selfish, and cruel. He felt that government and institutions were put in place to protect people from other people. He was a contrast to Locke and Rousseau who felt that governments and institutions got in the way of happy people being happy together. The "State of Nature" referred to life for people before there were governments, before there were laws, before there were organizations. Just people.
Thomas Hobbes, commenting on the absence of social order. Here's the full quote: "Whatsoever therefore is consequent to a time of Warre, where every man is Enemy to every man; the same is consequent to the time, wherein men live without other security, than what their own strength, and their own invention shall furnish them withall. In such condition, there is no place for Industry; because the fruit thereof is uncertain; and consequently no Culture of the Earth; no Navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by Sea; no commodious Building; no Instruments of moving, and removing such things as require much force; no Knowledge of the face of the Earth; no account of Time; no Arts; no Letters; no Society; and which is worst of all, continuall feare, and danger of violent death; And the life of man, solitary, poore, nasty, brutish, and short."
