: : I am just dropping a line, I am researching Hobbes and the Leviathan
: : and I am having difficulty defining Hobbes' thoughts on Freedom.
: : Any Thoughts?
: no
: I do, sure. I think it's all linked to power. Hobbes doesn't differentiate between "free" states and dictatorships; all that is important is if that person can keep his reputation as to be loved (or feared) by the people, and that he keeps that power unified. But personal freedom and spirital freedom, I dunno, but if you go to this website:
http://www.orst.edu/instruct/phl302/texts/hobbes/leviathan-contents.html
...then you can search his work, the Leviathan for key words, like "freedom". Hope this helps!
