	Thomas Hobbes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hobbes was educated at Westport church from the age of four, passed to the Malmesbury school and then to a private school kept by a young man named Robert Latimer, a graduate from Oxford University.
		Hobbes was exposed to European scientific and critical methods during the tour in contrast to the scholastic philosophy which he had learned in Oxford.
		According to Hobbes, society is a population beneath an authority, to whom all individuals in that society surrender just enough of their natural right for the authority to be able to ensure internal peace and a common defense.

	Pre-History of Cognitive Science--Thomas Hobbes
		Hobbes' model is based upon an application of the rules of geometry and physics to the human sciences.
		As noted earlier, Hobbes states specifically that all things, including thoughts, are material; however, his model of cognition still predicates a strange type of division between the individual thinking subject and the rest of the material world; for, according to Hobbes we never actually experience the true materiality of the thing we sense.
		Hobbes devotes an entire chapter to language and its right usage, during which he espouses an interesting model of the function of language in political society (Chapter 4) -one in which metaphorical language is specifically derided.

	Ziniewicz on Hobbes
		Hobbes once said, "Fear and I were born twins." Apparently, he was born prematurely when England was under threat of attack by the Spanish Armada.
		This, according to Hobbes, is impossible in this life; and since to be is to be a body, and a mortal one at that, one is unlikely to attain happiness in an "afterlife" either.
		Hobbes sees the person and society in context, but this context is a powerful and threatening universe against which one has no choice but to secure a cunning defense.

	Hobbes's Moral and Political Philosophy
		Hobbes is famous for his early and elaborate development of what has come to be known as “social contract theory”, the method of justifying political principles or arrangements by appeal to the agreement that would be made among suitably situated rational, free, and equal persons.
		Hobbes terms this situation “the condition of mere nature”, a state of perfectly private judgment, in which there is no agency with recognized authority to arbitrate disputes and effective power to enforce its decisions.
		Hobbes argues that each of us, as a rational being, can see that a war of all against all is inimical to the satisfaction of her interests, and so can agree that “peace is good, and therefore also the way or means of peace are good”.

		Hobbes, although not at all in sympathy with the Puritans, agreed that language should be purified to avoid needless dispute and factionalism.
		Hobbes was first (or one of the first) to formulate the problem of social order in a philosophically sharp form; and his anti-democratic, absolutist solution to the problem has provoked much debate.
		Hobbes went even further than Machiavelli in separating the state from the mysteries of the divine in the sense that he reduced political theory to rational analysis, to a rational inquiry into the foundations and justification of the state.

		The philosophy of Hobbes marked a departure in English philosophy from the religious emphasis of Scholasticism.
		Hobbes, fearing that Parliament might have him arrested because of his book, fled to Paris, where he remained in voluntary exile for 11 years.

		At the age of 15, Hobbes was taken on by a rich and influential Cavendish family, as a tutor.
		It was a fortunate appointment for young Hobbes as the family had a "superb library" and connections to certain other leading lights of the age, whom he was to meet, including Francis Bacon (1561-1626) and Galileo (1564-1642).
		To Hobbes, man's nature does not require a governing state, independent of his own, however, a better life might well be assured through the existence of an outside governing state.

		For Hobbes, that conception is bound to be a mechanistic one: the movements of physical objects will turn out to be sufficient to explain everything in the universe.
		Hobbes nevertheless supposed that human agents are free in the sense that their activities are not under constraint from anyone else.
		As Hobbes acknowledged, this account of human nature emphasizes our animal nature, leaving each of us to live independently of everyone else, acting only in his or her own self-interest, without regard for others.

	Metaphilm - Fight Club
		Hobbes, remembering the depth of their past friendship, does not hate Calvin but rather hates the society that made Calvin put him away.
		Hobbes, newly adjusted as "Tyler Durden" (after all, grown-up Calvin would no longer accept a jungle animal walking, talking, and eating canned tuna), re-enters Calvin/Jack’s life, determined to show Calvin everything he’s done wrong, whether he likes it or not.
		And though Hobbes and Susie never consummated their love for each other (he’s a stuffed tiger and she’s a kid, you sicko!) this is, of course, the exact same deranged love-triangle that is shared between Jack, Tyler, and Marla, or at least a natural progression thereof.

		Hobbes says, "but when we make a generall assertion, unless it be a true one, the possibility of it is inconceivable.
		As Hobbes says, "The right of nature, which writers commonly call Jus Naturale, is the liberty each man hath, to use his own power, as he will himselfe, for the preservation of his own nature; that is to say, of his own life." Simply each has the right to PERPETUATE his kind.
		Hobbes built his science upon reason, yet the conclusions are as real as any mathematical proof.

		For many years a tutor in the Cavendish family, Hobbes took great interest in mathematics, physics, and the contemporary rationalism.
		He argued from a mechanistic view that life is simply the motions of the organism and that man is by nature a selfishly individualistic animal at constant war with all other men.
		Though Hobbes favored a monarchy as the most efficient form of sovereignty, his theory could apply equally well to king or parliament.

		Bill Watterson's creation of Calvin and Hobbes is for my taste the ultimate adult comic strip; six year old Calvin, his stuffed tiger Hobbes, and his extensive and witty vocabulary, can be laugh-out-loud hilarious.
		Hobbes is my favorite cartoon animal, drawn as a stuffed toy when seen from non-Calvin eyes, but a wise and playfull being in Calvin's magical world.
		Second and most importantly, I think that the characters and the world of Calvin and Hobbes were beginning to lose their charm to some degree.
