Abstract

For Hobbes, men are free as beings with a body. According to the English political theorist, there are no voluntary acts against reason. Just like irrationals and unanimated things, human beings have within themselves the principle of movement and this is the reason why they move in this or that direction, unless blocked by an obstacle. The concept of conservation , that at first sight is static and reductionist, acquires the dynamic of a civilizer self-increment involving all the varieties of ingredients related to human welfare, far beyond physical preservation
