  Chapter Two of Istvan Meszaros' Book, Marx's Theory of Alienation
To prove this thesis, he summons the aid of nature and assumes that in it this dichotomy does not exist; from this he deduces that since man. too, is a natural body and possesses all the general properties of such a body, no dichotomy should exist for him either.
Viewed from the standpoint of this “self-centred” modern state the principle of bellum omnium contra omnes can be formulated as if it possessed the elemental force, eternal validity, and universality of the laws of nature.
In his articles On the Jewish Question Marx's starting point is, again the principle of bellum omnium contra omnes as realised in bourgeois society (“bürgerliche Gesellschaft”) that splits man into a public citizen and a private individual, and separates man from his “communal being” (Gemeinwesen), from himself, and from other men.

 Leviathan (book) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the book, Thomas Hobbes argues for a social contract and rule by a sovereign.
Influenced by the English Civil War, Hobbes wrote that chaos or civil war - situations identified with a state of nature and the famous motto Bellum omnium contra omnes ("the war of all against all") - could only be averted by strong central government.
He thus denied any right of rebellion toward the social contract, which would be later added by John Locke and conserved by Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

 Politics - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Hobbes described an ideal state of nature wherein every person had equal right to every resource in nature and was free to use any means to acquire those resources.
He claimed that such an arrangement created a “war of all against all” (bellum omnium contra omnes).
Further, he noted that men would enter into a social contract and would give up absolute rights for certain protections.

 The State of Nature (The Anthropik Network)
"Bellum omnium contra omnes"--Hobbes' "war of all, against all"--was the first word on the "state of nature." It was a hypothetical then, a possible time when humans may have existed without government.
Hobbes' "bellum omnium contra omnes" is fictional, as well.
For Hobbes, history shows the progress of humanity as we leave behind the bellum omnium contra omnes thanks to the ruthless violence of Leviathan.

 Liberty cannot be established
All this implies that social contracts, conventions and rules which would arise – under the absence of any kind of morality – from the bellum omnium contra omnes and would be established consciously and rationally in accordance with pure rule utilitarianism, cannot be long-lasting.
From this point of view, the classical conception of stopping the bellum omnium contra omnes, as presented by Thomas Hobbes, is far more coherent.
This trial results in the bellum omnium contra omnes, having at the beginning a ”civilised” form of competing legislative activities that cannot result in any stable legal framework because they ”reflect” only the momentary situation in the distribution of power among various interest groups.

The conflict in Iraq is not a classic civil war, but is instead closer to the Hobbesian bellum omnium contra omnes, a war of all against all.
What we have unleashed in the misshapen monstrosity called Iraq is violence in its most elemental form, and the sooner we’re out of there the better.

With 2005 marking Fully Equipt Records official beginning, Felonati was working on his "King of the North" LP (later to be called "Bellum Omnium Contra Omnes,") with Rob Maestro handling all of the production, when he had a brainstorm.
When finishing up the last few tracks for "Bellum Omnium Contra Omnes," 'Nati discovered a horrible truth: Rob Maestro had cracked under the pressure of having to deliver hot beats to 'Nati and the Fully Equipt crew, free of charge, and had stolen beats from different underground producers to give to Fully Equipt.
Realizing that the entire "Bellum Omnium Contra Omnes" album has been "ruined by lies," 'Nati released it as a solo album, at mixtape price, unpackaged, strictly in the streets.

 Thomas Hobbes – a short report
Naturally, this state is unpleasant; though that situation may be called “rule of natural law”, but Hobbes stated that this natural is as good as no law at all.
He describes the situation as “bellum omnium contra omnes” (“war of everyone against everyone”).
This concept of state assures peace within the states, but displaces the problem of bellum omnium contra omnes from individuals to wars between the states.

The philosopher must discipline the intellectual self if they are to obtain true wisdom and knowledge.
because man, out of need or boredom, wants to exist socially, herd-fashion, he requires a peace pact and he endeavors to banish at least the very crudest bellum omnium contra omnes (War of all against all) from his world.
This peace pact looks something like the first step toward the attainment of this enigmatic urge for "truth"; that is, a regularly valid and obligatory designation of things is invented, and this linguistic legislation also furnishes the first laws of truth: for it is here that the contrast between truth and lie first originates.

 Anthony de Jasay, The State, Chapter 1.6: Library of Economics and Liberty
Although there may be talk of "armed associations for self-protection" and Pinkertons may be called in to give an expert hand, these devices are essentially aimed at supplementing the services of the state which are inadequate or afflicted by momentary political cowardice and weakness of will.
This is basically the same misconception as the one identifying the state of nature with bellum omnium contra omnes and which overlooks some potent forces making for reasonably stable, peaceful cooperative solutions if, by a fluke, a learning process gets a chance to start operating.
It is at any rate significant that, despite wishful gropings in this direction, there was until quite recently no good intellectual case for holding that one could give up the state without also wholly giving up certain services it renders, without which capitalism would find it awkward to function.

 Thomas Hobbes - Leviathan
In his view the state is created by a social contract concluded by the people.
It brings an end to anarchy which he basically sees as a war of everyone against everyone (Latin: bellum omnium contra omnes).
Later other political philosophers developed his theory into a justification of democracy (John Locke) or transferred his concept to the international level by demanding the introduction of a social contract between the states.

The seventeenth century English philosopher, Thomas Hobbes, is famous for presenting a sort of useful fiction in political philosophy, which has come to be called the state of nature.
Hobbes himself does not use this term in Leviathan: he describes it as a "warre, as is of every man, against every man" (bellum omnium contra omnes).
The state of nature is presented as the condition humanity would be in if government did not exist....

 History of Philosophy 53
Hobbes begins by denying the doctrine on which Aristotle's philosophy of the state is based, the doctrine, namely, that man is a political animal.
The English philosopher assumes rather the Epicurean principle that originally there existed a condition of natural warfare among men -- homo homini lupus, or bellum omnium contra omnes.
The authority of the state has its origin, therefore, in a social compact, and since the renunciation and transference of private rights was complete and unreserved, the authority of the state is absolute.

 Internet Law and Policy Forum - Events
The old laws applying to the real, physical society are not always appropriate in cyberspace, and even when they are, their application by the judiciary cannot be guaranteed to be consistent and predictable.
This leads to uncertainty and, to some extent, to a "bellum omnium contra omnes".
Until either there is a new compact of all cyber-society, or the laws of the physical world can be adapted and applied consistently to cyberspace, one way forward for merchants looking for order and security in their transactions is the development of private law for closed societies.

 Letters: Marx-Engels Correspondence 1875
The whole Darwinists teaching of the struggle for existence is simply a transference from society to living nature of Hobbes’s doctrine of bellum omnium contra omnes [from Hobbes’s De Cive and Leviathan, chapter 13-14] and of the bourgeois-economic doctrine of competition together with Malthus’s theory of population.
The puerility of this procedure is so obvious that not a word need be said about it.
6) On the other hand I cannot agree with you that the “bellum omnium contra omnes” was the first phase of human development.

 The Contribution of Alfred Verdross to the Theory of International Law
The clearest exposition of the universalistic conception can be found with the Spanish scholars of the School of Salamanca, however.
For Vitoria, the community of states is thus universal by nature; he referred to it as `una respublica', with the purpose of the general well-being of all human beings (bonum commune omnium).
Since, however, states are not subject to any supranational authority, the only rule that can prevail between them is the law of nature.

The universal problem of government is resolving conflicts in the wills of its constituents, thus (per Hobbes): bellum omnium contra omnes, war of all against all.
Plato, Cicero, and Rousseau similarly reduced the concept of government to that state of universal order, for conflict can be observed as basic in nature.

If that were its intent, I should regard calling such a law a regulation of commerce as a mere pretense.

 The Old Cause by Joseph Stromberg
In our time, mainstream scholars, whatever the inane radicalism of their views on domestic policy, glide along blissfully unaware of the empire or in active support of it (as we saw recently).
As for the so-called "radicals," many of them imagine themselves critics of empire because they add "US imperialism" to their long checklist of ills to be dealt with by complete destruction of existing American society and its replacement by an envy-driven egalitarian bellum omnium contra omnes.
In such times, it is a help to recall a radical scholar who was an American opponent of an empire which merely wears the American label.

 Friedrich Nietzsche Study Questions   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Why, at the beginning of the essay, does Nietzsche more than once imply that the "impulse to truth" is little short of a miracle?
Nietzsche invokes the social contract as the way in which humans put an end to what Thomas Hobbes called in Leviathan "the war of all against all" (bellum omnium contra omnes).
The social contract, says Nietzsche, gave rise to the binary or paired opposing concepts "truth/lie." What does Nietzsche immediately thereafter imply about the separateness and stability of the terms in that paired opposition?

 PAPACHELAS v. GREECE - 31423/96 [1999] ECHR 18 (25 March 1999)
The meaning of the above adage is different in purely private litigation where the State provides a conflict-resolution service in lieu of self help, i.e., to supplant the use of force by the parties.
The unacceptability of delay in private litigation is a logical consequence of the fact that the first act of the Hobbesian State is to prevent recourse to arms, as it leads, in the final analysis, to bellum omnium contra omnes, i.e., anarchy.
It is, therefore, logical that the calculation of delay in such cases should depend on the timing of the initial step of the request of the injured party, the plaintiff, for the State’s protection: volenti non fit injuria.
