Negative Positive
Title: Hated it.
Review: Christian rigidity and stodginess and "the letter of the law must be obeyed" at its finest. An excellent exposition on the logical consequences of deeply distrusting human beings.To be more specific: Hobbes' key assumption, that humans in a state of nature are uncontrolled brutes, is not only contradicted by all sorts of anthropological evidence; it's a projection that we Westerners like to place over aboriginal peoples in order to justify colonizing them.Read Camus' THE PLAGUE instead, where Tarrou refers to a Hobbesian bureaucrat as "Public Enemy Number One."
