Locke’s and Hobbes idea of monarchy.

February 25, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Locke view of the monarchy is that tyranny is a bad power that no one should have because they would use it for their own personal gain. Locke thinks that a monarchy has too much power over the people. He says that the tyrant thinks that the people only need himself to be happy and the righteous king wants his people to have wealth and property. A king in a settled kingdom will eventually become a tyrant. He feels as though they can do whatever they want to do and he has no say over it. Once the law ends and tyranny begins ,he feels as though they can do whatever they want to do and no one has no say over it. When there is a monarchy he feels no sense of privacy in his own home. He thinks that we should be against force and violence and people should have control over what happens to them, not a ruler saying what they should do.

Hobbes view of the monarchy is that he thinks all men are equal and that although some men may be stronger there are still differences between them. The people in the monarchy won’t believe that someone is wiser than themselves. When one becomes wiser than the other, there are fights for their wise ness. He said that monarchies can’t last long by only standing on their defense. They invade for gain, safety, and reputation. Monarchies fight because of competition, difference and glory. They would be in war against one another for many things . For the first use of violence, they would use things like their wives, their children, and weapons to be the master of themselves . In a monarchy, when one person has something another person doesn’t, they become enemies and they fight for what they don’t have. In a monarchy, there is always constant fighting. A man is only happy when they have what they want, and they will fight who over takes what they want .He believes that when there is a ruler, there is peace.

Locke’s Ideas

February 21, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Locke, a British philosopher, who wanted to understand where our ideas came from and how we could trust our senses. He felt that we could notice simple sensations, and that we build these up through reflection to form complex ideas. He believed that all our thoughts and ideas issue from that which we have taken in thought the senses and that before we perceive anything that the mind is an empty slate. He had an idea that divided the world into primary and secondary qualities. The first was basically about size or number are always accurately reproduced. Secondary qualities, like taste, depend from each different person. He believed that we use our senses to make connections to objects. With primary qualities we know that our senses produce them objectively, where as in secondary qualities our senses do not reproduce the real qualities that are inherent in the things themselves. Locke had a few rationalistic features to his thought, he felt that the same natural rights applied to everyone and also that the existence of God was only known through reasons. Last, he also thought that men and woman had equal rights.

Compare/Contrast Descartes and Spinoza.

February 4, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Descartes was born in 1596 and died in 1650. His main concern was with what we can know. He was convinced that there was a distinct difference between spirit and matter but how they affected one another, he was not sure. He also thought that we cannot accept anything to be true unless there is clear evidence. If there is no evidence, then he has the right to doubt everything. Along with this, he wanted to know the relationship between body and mind. Being the mathematician he was and the father of analytical geometry, he used math to try to explain everything. He though everything could be explained using math. Once coming to the conclusion that a perfect entity cannot have originated from one who himself was imperfect, he looked into the idea that a perfect entity must exist, and this was God, because we all are imperfect so that idea of perfection couldn’t came from us. Born in 1632, Spinoza had other ideas. Unlike Descartes Spinoza only believed in the idea of one substance. Spinoza thought this substance to be God or nature. Spinoza identifies God with nature and doing this he distances himself from Descartes and the Jewish and Christian religion. Spinoza focuses more on the natural world and the relationship between nature and God while Descartes focuses on the mind, body, and matter. Spinoza believed that Christianity and Judaism were kept alive by firm belief and constant practice. He says that God is the world and that “In him we live and move and have our being.” Spinoza died in 1677.
