Enlight. #5: Hobbes vs. Locke What is a revolution?

Thomas Hobbes (1651) • Believed humans are naturally wicked & selfish • In a state of nature (no gov), there will be chaos

If someone believes people are born evil, what kind of government will that person believe is necessary?

In his book called the Leviathan, he said… • We need gov to keep order • Social Contract : We give up some of our rights in order to have protection from a strong ruler. Society needs an absolute monarch

Would you be willing to give up some of your rights, like freedom of speech, if it meant you’d have protection and feel safe?

John Locke (1690) • Humans are reasonable & logical • Born with natural rights: We all have the right to – Life – Liberty – Property

• Locke’s social contract: Gov is meant to protect our natural IF rights. it doesn’t protect our rights, ppl can overthrow (get rid of) gov

Voltaire (1694 -1778) • Uses satire (jokes used to criticize something) to criticize gov, aristocracy, and even the church

“Anything too stupid to be said is sung” As long as you love me We could be starving, we could be homeless, we could be broke As long as you love me I'll be your platinum, I'll be your silver, I'll be your gold As long as you love, love, love me (love me)

Voltaire • Wanted to see freedom of religion & speech – “I do not agree with a word you say but will defend to the death your right to say it” • Go to jail 2 xs for criticizing the Catholic Church & aristocrats
