John Locke thought that people were neither good nor bad innately. How did Hobbes’s views differ from those of Locke’s?

Vladimir [108]

Answer: A) Hobbes thought people were innately violent.

Further explanation:

Both English philosophers believed there is a "social contract" -- that governments are formed by the will of the people. But their theories on why people want to live under governments were very different.

Thomas Hobbes published his political theory in Leviathan in 1651, following the chaos and destruction of the English Civil War. He saw human beings as naturally suspicious of one another, in competition with each other, and violent toward one another as a result. Forming a government meant giving up personal liberty, but gaining security against what would otherwise be a situation of every person at war with every other person.

John Locke published his Two Treatises on Civil Government in 1690, following the mostly peaceful transition of government power that was the Glorious Revolution in England. Locke believed people are born as blank slates--with no preexisting knowledge or moral leanings. Experience then guides them to the knowledge and the best form of life, and they choose to form governments to make life and society better.

In teaching the difference between Hobbes and Locke, I've often put it this way. If society were playground basketball, Hobbes believed you must have a referee who sets and enforces rules, or else the players will eventually get into heated arguments and bloody fights with one another, because people get nasty in competition that way. Locke believed you could have an enjoyable game of playground basketball without a referee, but a referee makes the game better because then any disputes that come up between players have a fair way of being resolved. Of course, Hobbes and Locke never actually wrote about basketball -- a game not invented until 1891 in America by James Naismith. But it's just an illustration I've used to try to show the difference of ideas between Hobbes and Locke. :-)

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although you do not mention what was your week's issue of Studies Weekly to help you answer this question, we can indeed comment on the reason why some Hindus were polytheistic, while others were monotheistic.

Here we go.

Historians and scholars say that in Hinduism, there is a monotheistic conception of divinity but also a polytheistic pantheon of gods for the following reasons.

There is what we can understand as a monotheistic conception of one god in Hinduism. This concept teaches that there is one great mighty god, Hindus call it Brahman. He is the divine force that created everything. So Hindus believe in this original creative force that gave life to everything.

On the other hand, there is a polytheistic approach to Hinduism in that believes that different deities stem from that great Brahman god. We are talking about deities such as Shiva, Ishvara, Hanuman, Ganesha, Vishnu, Vedi, Krishna, Rama, Durga, and Kali, among many others. Hindu pantheon is extensive.

These many gods represented one aspect of creation and Earth, such as the deity of creation and destruction, a deity for knowledge, a deity of dark, a deity of prosperity, and more.
