Höffe I 218
Morality/Hobbes/Höffe: with the latent, not necessarily actual violence in the natural state, Hobbes does not claim that the human being is inherently aggressive and destructive. >War/Hobbes.
For him, human passions are non-judgmental driving forces which one realistically accepts as they are. The human is not antisocial in a moral sense, that is to say evil; he is not even innocently evil. His basic passion, the striving for free self-preservation and for happiness (...) leads to the (...) inevitable antisocial tendency, the tendency to violence.
>Human/Hobbes, >War/Hobbes, >Happiness/Hobbes, >Good/The Good/Hobbes.

Brandom I 96
Ethics/morality/Hobbes: desire and not the thinking, the will and not the knowledge are the source of good and bad. ((s) Cf. Ethics/Harman.)
