The basis for modern states is kino now?

Although hugely important book, cool to see it on /lit/

I want to strangle every single zoomer npc who says "kino"

>>18229027
It's bait if you haven't noticed.

Nah it legit gives me goosebumps. Now every time I think of consent of the governed i think of the sovereign as a giant composed of all of his subjects

>English civil war
*war of the 3 kingdoms

Yeah Hobbes is actually based
Best argument for collectivism I have seen so far. In a way he is a precursor to many modern Anglo ideas like humanism, universal rights, political materialism, etc

>for collectivism
Try reading it. It's for the right of a king to have total control.

>>18229225
Also Hobbes didn't like it, he just thought it was a necessary way of conducting affairs. There's a reason he compares states to biblical monsters.

>>18229267
I like it though

When I think about history, I sometimes think that life wouldn't have been so bad under the monarchy comparatively, but then I have to remind myself I would've been forced to live in the Pale.

>>18229238
Not necessarily. He says it could be an assembly too. The point was to abandon your natural rights in favor of the sovereign.

>>18231446
You've got brilliant reading comprehension, you know that?

>>18231455
sorry I was thinking of the other pale

>>18231458
You were right, I was being sarcastic. Man, you are slow.

It's 11:00 pm and I go to bed at 10 usually, please stop being mean to me. I love jews, my cousins are jewish, you guys rule

>>18231494
I am sorry for being mean, anon, you called me a nose and so I assumed you thought ill of me because of it. I shouldn't have assumed so quickly as I did. I appreciate your kindness, you rule because you are kind.

>>18231528
we rule in a society...

Unfortunately he laid the foundation for populism and thereby the dissolution of traditional institutions. Certain conclusions are highly dubious; however, he makes a number of keen observations which, in truth, are generally more intuitive and reasonable than Rousseau. Of course, every political philosopher that came after him and Rousseau utterly shit the bed.

This is the book that made me realize it was possible to attempt a rigorous philosophy.

>>18229134
How the fuck is it bait, retard? You'd think a literature board could recognize vernacular/slang

>>18229210
No, English civil war

This image clealry has a humorous and rhetorical intent. Can someone explain it to me?

It's a reference to a game: Metal gear rising. A giant mech hits a cyborg with a large arm, he then deflects it and throws it away.

So, the joke is: an enlightenment philosopher (I believe Rousseau?) is using a constitution to deflect the blow from Hobbes' absolute sovereign, 'leviathan'.
