After reading excerpts from Hobbes’ Leviathan, imagine that you have been transported to a zombie apocalypse. (5-7 sentences) 1) Describe a potential conflict that arises from you and your fellow survivors using BOTH of Hobbes’ terms: the law of nature (lex naturalis) and the right of nature (ius naturale). 2) If a Leviathan were available in this apocalyptic world, would you give up your natural rights (to liberty and property) for security (natural right of life)? Why or why not?
