Poli 206 - Final || All Accurately Answered.
Frontispiece correct answers ID: Hobbes
Rhetorical device, cover Hobbes book. One side represents ecclesiastical the other the sovereign.
(1) The frontispiece displays the sovereign over the regnum and sacerdotium. This implies the
sovereign is to control both spiritual and secular matters.
(2) Hobbes presents a paradox in his works, he implies the sovereign should control the
sacerdotium and the regnum which is absolutist. Hobbes, however, also stresses the equality of
individuals and the sovereign protecting individuals.
(3) The sovereign is constructed of many smaller individuals, this implies that the sovereign
represents the many individuals constructing a state. Hobbes, therefore, argues for either a
democracy or a republic.


Leviathan correct answers ID: Hobbes
Def: A sea monster, biblical.
(1) Hobbes does not encourage metaphores as he believes they are deceptive. However, Hobbes
contradicts himself by using the Leviathan as a metaphor for the sovereign in order to display
how they are deceptive.
(2) The Leviathan represents the sovereign as a biblical leviathan in order to display that his ideal
state of government would share similar attributes of power.
(3) The Leviathan represents an all powerful sovereign which overarches both the regnum and
sacerdotium which would represent Absolutism. However, the sovereign is constructed of many
people, which represents the notion of Democracy or a republic.


Metaphore correct answers ID: Hobbes
Def: Metaphore is deceptive as it attempts to get you to see truth without facts and relies on
culture to understand references.
(1) Hobbes does not encourage metaphores as he believes they are deceptive. However, Hobbes
contradicts himself by constructing the Leviathan as a metaphor for the sovereign in order to
display how they are deceptive.
(2) Hobbes believes that in order for an argument to be logical and true, the terms must be
defined to their most simplistic form. Contrary to this, the use of metaphore in arguments is to
draw deceptive parallels and confuse the reader rather than present true facts.

,(3) Metaphore is highly subjective as it involves the influence of culture and personal experience
to comprehend meanings. Hobbes presents the notion of cultural relativity and "contumely", in
which one offends someone by performing an act prohibited in their culture.


SPNBS correct answers ID: Hobbes
Def: State of nature is solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short. Constant conflict
(1) Agreement to live under an overarching sovereign who compels us to live in harmony out of
fear is the solution to the perpetual fear of violent death within the state of nature.
(2) If the members of a society are unable to trust one another societal progress becomes
impossible, as, no one will cooperate to create functioning governmental or educational
institutions.
(3) If the members of a society are in perpetual fear of death, the society will be unable to
progress economically, as there will be no motivation to work given that your property may be
taken at any time.


Matter in Motion correct answers ID: Hobbes
Def: Hobbes defines the human being as such, call for radical egalitarianism
(1) Hobbes, in reducing humans to mere matter presents a non-teleological perspective on human
life. Aristotle, to the contrary, presents the notion that human life exists, and is relevant to an
ultimate teleological goal.
(2) Hobbes radical egalitarianism is detrimental as it presents a challenge: if there is no notion of
natural superiority, it is then difficult to choose and justify an overarching sovereign.
(3) Radical egalitarianism is beneficial as it promotes social progress because individuals live in
a tolerant society where they are permitted to prosper regardless of their initial situation.


Warre correct answers ID: Hobbes
Def: The condition of unrestrained conflict between all men which exists in Hobbes state of
nature
(1) Agreement to live under an overarching sovereign who compels us to live in harmony out of
fear is the solution to the perpetual fear of violent death within the state of nature.

, (2) If the members of a society are unable to trust one another societal progress becomes
impossible, as, no one will cooperate to create functioning governmental or educational
institutions.
(3) If the members of a society are in perpetual fear of death, the society will be unable to
progress economically, as there will be no motivation to work given that your property may be
taken at any time.

(2)
(3)


Social Contract correct answers ID: Hobbes
Def: The agreement to live under a coercive sovereign to maintain harmony in the state of nature
(1) Agreement to live under an overarching sovereign who compels us to live in harmony out of
fear is the solution to the perpetual fear of violent death within the state of nature.
(2) Exists because if the members of a society are unable to trust one another societal progress
becomes impossible, as, no one will cooperate to create functioning governmental or educational
institutions.
(3) Exists because if the members of a society are in perpetual fear of death, the society will be
unable to progress economically, as there will be no motivation to work given that your property
may be taken at any time.


Laws of Nature correct answers ID: Hobbes
Def: The rules that you would need to follow in the secular realm, describe how matter in motion
would behave.
(1) The laws of nature imply that humans are matter in motion which will abide by particular
rules, necessarily. Thus, one can say that man has free will but it will most likely remain limited
as it counters self preservation to deviate from these laws.
