from the absolute authority given to him. I will be arguing that the reasoning behind Hobbes’ claim that the monarch is the best is flawed and fails to consider the dangers of absolute authority to one individual. Hobbes assumption is important to understand because one man with absolute power who uses his subjects based on his self-interest could be considered a dictator. Thomas Hobbes is not advocating the rise of a dictator or tyrant; he fails to consider the negative effects of absolute power to

which the principle of the categorical imperative is derived. This categorical imperative is the supreme moral law‚ and according to Kant‚ it is absolute. For example‚ a maxim like “I must not lie” might be extrapolated into the imperative “Do not lie” according to Kant’s formulation. However‚ the concept of absolute moral law faces a problem in a case in which multiple moral laws run counter to each other. The famous “murderer at the door” problem is an example of this situation. A murderer knocks

Hobbes argues that the sovereign’s absolute authority is vital to the self-preservation and maintenance of civil peace of the commonwealth. Without these‚ there would be civil war and chaos. He believes that the benefits of having a sovereign outweigh the disadvantages‚ despite the many rights that the sovereign is entitled to. This is why Hobbes believes that those living under the rule of the sovereign still exercise freedom. For Hobbes‚ liberty is defined as the ability to act in accordance to

freedom. However‚ similar to Hobbes he falls into the trap that a right to act means nothing more than a capacity to do so. Spinoza is also contra-dictionary as he defends absolute freedom but puts forward exceptions. Both argue that the sovereign has a right to act as it wishes and to listen to subjects’ opinion is simply a case of self-interest as doing otherwise would result in resentment‚ thus natural right is determined not by reason but by desire and power as subjects are born ignorant.

Absolute thresholds are the minimum level of stimulus intensity needed for a stimulus to be perceived. In other words‚ the absolute threshold is the amount of intensity needed for a person to detect a difference between something and nothing. Differential thresholds refer to the intensity difference needed between two stimuli before people can perceive that stimuli are different. Thus‚ the differential threshold is a relative concept. Weber’s law (1834) states the positive relation between the

Absolute Justice in Tim O’Brien’s "The Things They Carried" In society today‚ we live by tired clichés‚ swearing that “justice is blind” and preaching “equal justice under law” at every opportunity. We accept justice as something both natural and deserved‚ assuming that being fair is the same thing as being right‚ but only rarely do we realize the idealism of this mindset. Try as we might to ignore it‚ universal justice cannot exist in and of itself—there is no natural law that mandates an action
