| Do natural rights exist?
Hobbes suggested that without government humans existed in a "state of nature". This state of nature, consequently made humans brutish and evil. He thought that without a social authority humans had the right to take whatever from whomever. This way of thinking caused him to think that people in a state of nature should give up control to a strong central authority to provide rules for humans. Hobbes constructed a set of nine laws within his book Leviathan giving humans natural rights and the ways they should act upon them.
Was Hobbes reasoning sound? Why or why not?
Should humans sacrifice their "natural rights" to preserve these rights?
