I'll start by saying that this year I'm taking a second-year paper at Otago University called "Moral political philosphy - Hobbes, Hume and their critics"
Now, I don't know all that much about Hobbes and Humes, and we've only really started by focusing on Hobbes philosophy of the State of Nature, and how people's lives would be "Solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short"
So, tell me all that you wonderful people know about Hobbes and Hume and their philosophies in the hope that I may learn something and slaughter the exams!!
acutally, I shuold probably include a question......
but it is a very broad subject.....
ok, to start us off I'll take a question from todays class
Is Hobbes a rule-egoist? Is this a defensible position? Discuss with reference to Kavka ch. 9 and Shaver ed. (1999) Hobbes, essays 1, 2, 3 and 10, by Gauthier, Kavka, Hampton and Curly respectively
Ok, thats a direct question quote, but you don't necessarily need to cite those references, but IF you do, can you please note that? Just so I know.
I can post 2 questions a week if you people would like me to. Might lead to alot of fun debatingszzsness.
enjoy
