Private Arms Possession And Community
[ send me this paper ]
The debate over the right to
bear arms and the need in American society to control guns and violence
has reached an apogee since the incident at Littleton, Colorado, High
School. The view of Thomas Hobbes, in Leviathan, shows a world where
man will fight to the death all those not himself. In order to protect
and defend life, man must come together in a new definition of 'self'.
To organize into community is to distribute power and to make a
commitment to a stated set of rules. This 10 page paper argues that
Hobbes' philosophy can be aligned against that of Kant, who set the
value of man within their schema of society. Bibliography lists 10
sources.
