The Ideas of Hobbes VS Locke

Hobbes Vs. Locke Nick Cappy Thomas Hobbes and John Locke were English philosophers who attended Oxford University. Hobbes was born in Westport, England and Locke was born in Wrington. These two philosophers became famous because of their ideas about politics and the understanding of human nature. <Tab/>Thomas Hobbes had a very negative view on human nature. He describes human nature as being constantly at war with one another. According to …

…Locke believes in except his concept that man is always at war with nature. I think he is right when he says that man protects himself, while protecting mankind all together.

I do not believe that man is evil and completely selfish while I think that man is made of experience, origins, heredity and nature. By Nick Cappy
