Which statement describes a common belief of philosophers Thomas Hobbes and John Locke

1 answer:

5 0

Thomas Hobbes and John Locke were two political philosophers of 17th century England who tried to give an explanation about the origin of government. They both reacted against the Divine Hereditary Right of monarchs and developed a theory that maintained that civil governments were the result of a social contract, thus, governments were an affair purely of this world and not something established by divine authority.

Mussolini’s rise to power depended largely on his ability to

Pani-rosa [81]

First question: he started making alliances after coming to power and a war did happen, so we have to choose amog the two other options:

give powerful and persuasive speeches
create industry and employment where none existed

I find that they're both true and that an even better answer would be that he gave people huge promises of making Italy great again.

If I can choose only one option, then "speeches" is better, since the other one required him to be in power already to do

second question: while the last option did happen, as minorities were persecuted, the major mechanism of keeping the population in control was controlling resistance, so the correct answer is the first one.

What was the dominant model of federalism starting with the new deal?

prisoha [69]

Cooperative Federalism - This is the model of federalism that stressed federal-state partnership in addressing social problems. This was pioneered by the New Deal that formulated state-federal solutions to the Great Depression of 1929-1940. The Democratic Party under President Delano Roosevelt formulated the New Deal after the policies of President Herbert Hoover of non-interventionism into state affairs by the federal government failed to yield any results in remedying the Great Depression.

What connection does that Bible story and Dylan's song have with ethics and the so-called "Divine Command Theory" as espoused by

Darina [25.2K]

The connection is that Dylan's song ("Highway 61 Revisited") and "that Bible story" (Abraham sacrificing Isaac) both point to the ethical idea that doing the right thing means doing whatever it is that is divinely commanded.

Explanation/context:

The origins of "Divine Command Theory" stem back to a dialogue written by Plato, which has the philosopher Socrates engaged in discussion with Euthyphro about the meaning of piety or goodness. Socrates was being accused of impiety in Athenian court. Impiety to the Athenians meant conduct that was displeasing to the gods. At that same time, Euthyphro was at court in Athens to prosecute his own father for having killed a servant. Socrates asked the kinds of questions he normally did, pressing Euthyphro how he knew that prosecuting his own father was a good thing. Euthyphro said punishing wrongdoers for wrongdoing was the pious thing to do, no matter who the wrongdoers are. Socrates then asked Euthyphro to how we know what "piety" is -- and Euthyphro said it was doing that which is dear to the gods. That's the "divine command" theory in a nutshell. Bear in mind, as the dialogue between Socrates and Euthyphro continued, there was much more nuanced thought about how well that definition works. Socrates asked, for instance, "whether the pious or holy is beloved by the gods because it is holy, or holy because it is beloved of the gods." That became a difficult conundrum for their consideration in the dialogue.

The Abraham story in the Bible follows the "divine command theory" idea. When God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his only son Isaac, the fact that God commanded it would make it right, according to divine command theory -- even though the act itself seemed horribly wrong.

Bob Dylan played with that idea in the lyrics to his song, "Highway 61 Revisited," from the album Highway 61 Revisited (1965) ...

Oh, God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son"

Abe said, "Man, you must be puttin' me on"

God said, "No" Abe say, "What?"

God say, "You can do what you want, Abe, but

The next time you see me comin', you better run"

Well, Abe said, "Where d'you want this killin' done?"

God said, "Out on Highway 61"
