Abstract

Hovedforskellen mellem Hobbes og Spinoza trods tydelige ligheder vedrører absolutisme. Hobbes troede på absolutisme af en slags for mennesket må indse at kun en suveræn magt kan lave og gennemtvinge love som gør samfundslivet muligt. Spinoza behøvede ikke den fiktive underkastelsespagt og argumenterede for menneskenes sociale tilbøjelighed som en naturlig følelse med en fornuftsmæssig grund. Begge udgik fra egenkærligheds-teorien og begge hævdede at deres - modsatte- resultater fulgte fra deres axiomer more geometrico; Hobbes at menneskets medmenneske må være hans fjende, og Spinoza at medmennesket er det mest nyttige for mennesket.
