Hobbes and Hegel differ as social and political theorists. Famously Hobbes is taken to be a theorist of individualism, in which it is only the prospect of death in the state of nature that inclines individuals to set up a state. Hegel sees the world as social so that our very thinking about ourselves takes place in a social setting. However, Hobbes sees individuals as being affected by their social setting in that individuals above all fear a shameful death, and Hegel also allows for individuals to exercise choice and freedom in his framing of a rational community.

摘要

Hobbes and Hegel differ as social and political theorists. Famously Hobbes is taken to be a theorist of individualism, in which it is only the prospect of death in the state of nature that inclines individuals to set up a state. Hegel sees the world as social so that our very thinking about ourselves takes place in a social setting. However, Hobbes sees individuals as being affected by their social setting in that individuals above all fear a shameful death, and Hegel also allows for individuals to exercise choice and freedom in his framing of a rational community.
