Abstract

We can speak of a “natural law model” regarding the origin and the foundation of the State and of political society since Hobbes, as a model in which its production is considered through one or more conventions, that is, through one or more voluntary and intentional acts of individuals interested in leaving the state of nature, to avoid the condition of “war”. In the present work, Hobbes’ ideas on education are set forth, reflected in the Leviathan and its relation with the text of the national law 1420, which had as its fundamental mission to provide the necessary legal framework to train citizens, with the objective to achieve an integration of the heterogeneous population residing in the territory. The education according to the mentioned law and in coincidence with Hobbes, should respond to a state interventionist model.
