Quick takeaways

Hobbes' social covenant highlights the importance of unconditional commitment to sovereign authority for societal stability, clarifying consent's complexities.

Locke's philosophical evolution from advocating absolute government to emphasizing limited governance and personal rights marks a key shift in democratic thought.

Locke's assertion of inherent natural rights to life, liberty, and property underlines the foundational principles of modern human rights and government accountability.

Deep dives

Understanding Hobbes' Covenant

Hobbes' concept of the social covenant involves individuals surrendering their rights to a sovereign for societal order. Initially, it is misrepresented as requiring a conditional commitment from all, leading to a paradox of consent. A clearer interpretation reveals that each individual makes an unconditional commitment to the sovereign, with the understanding that the agreement only takes effect once a sufficient number of others have done so. This reinterpretation resolves the ambiguities surrounding the nature of consent within Hobbes’ framework.
