The Enlightenment can be seen as a revolution in thinking that begun in the seventeenth century that emphasized reason and science over the authority of traditional religion. Adam Smith was a Scottish economist, philosopher and author as well as a moral philosopher. In his book The Wealth of Nations (1776) he defined the working of market economies and supported principles of liberty. His ideas fit in the ideas of the enlightenment because of his profoundly original contributions to moral philosophy and natural jurisprudence. His work contributed to the development of modern economics and moral philosophy.

In this passage, Hobbes discusses the nature of the government that people create with their social contract.
kherson [118]

Answer:

<h2>be completely powerful</h2>

<u>Further details:</u>

Thomas Hobbes published a famous work called <em>Leviathan</em> in 1651.  The title "Leviathan" comes from a biblical word for a great and mighty beast. Hobbes believed government is formed by people for the sake of their personal security and stability in society.  In Hobbes' view, once the people put a king (or other leader in power), then that leader needs to have supreme power (like a great and mighty beast).   Hobbes' view of the natural state of human beings without a government held that people are too divided and too volatile as individuals -- everyone looking out for his own interests.  So for security and stability, authority and the power of the law needs to be in the hands of a powerful ruler like a king or queen.  And so people willingly enter a "social contract" in which they live under a government that provides stability and security for society.

Probably the most famous set of lines from Hobbes' <em>Leviathan</em> book describes what he saw as the natural state of human affairs without government -- one in which every individual had freedom, but that meant it was a situation of "war of all against all," or we might say, every man for himself.  Hobbes wrote:

  • <em>In such condition, there is no place for industry; because the fruit thereof is uncertain: and consequently no culture of the earth; no navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by sea; no commodious building; no instruments of moving, and removing, such things as require much force; no knowledge of the face of the earth; no account of time; no arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.</em>

Which characteristic of the people in Africa did Prince Henry of Portugal see as an opportunity for Christianity?
Nataly [62]

Answer:

The correct answer is: they practiced Islam and traditional native beliefs .

Explanation:

In 1415, King Henry of Portugal (also known as Henry the Navigator) led an attack on Ceuta (a town located in Morocco) with his father and his brothers. When Henry conquered Ceuta, he became obsessed with Africa, especially with his biggest desire, to conquer the Muslims who lived there and convert them into Christians.

He was convinced that he could convert the African Muslim population into good Christians, as they practiced and strictly obeyed Islam and its traditional native beliefs. Those characteristics were particularly adequate for King Henry to spread the Christian influence.
