For Hobbes, natural law is a kind of moral law. Doesmorality, according to Hobbes, require us to be the firstperformer in the state of nature? This is very important toHobbes' argument because people could not escape from thestate of nature unless some of them start keeping covenants.Hampton suggests that shortsightedness is very common inthe state of nature, so that lack of cooperation may be thedominant strategy. However, Warrender suggests thatHobbesian individuals are obligated to obey the laws ofnature since God's almighty power delivers it. IfWarrender's religious interpretation is correct, it presupposesthat people in the state of nature already believe in theexistence of God. In this respect, Warrender's Hobbes seemsto suggest that even less intellectual inhabitants couldunderstand the nature of God's punishment. |
