In this essay I will make a critical comparison between Locke and Hobbes, their idea of ​​how Europe as a civil society changed over time. Also, what was their view of epistemology, sovereignty, peace, slavery, human nature, and future directions in international politics. In conclusion, I will provide a general opinion and insight into how Locke's and Hobbes' views have influenced international political thoughts. In conclusion, I will identify one of the two with whom I can compare my political views with theirs. The Enlightenment is the period in history characterized by dramatic revolutions in science, philosophy, society, and politics; these revolutions swept away the medieval worldview and ushered in our modern Western world. In the period of the Enlightenment we can highlight a number of thinkers known as the philosophes including Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Immanuel Kant, Thomas Jefferson, John Locke, Thomas Hobbes and others. These philosophers were important to society, each in their own way paved a path for independent thoughts, as each contributed thoughts and ideas to create an intelligent, self-aware civilization that inspired the creation of the world's first great democracies. Thomas Hobbes and John Locke lived in different time periods with different situations which in a way gave them different perspectives of society. For Hobbes, states must be involved because human beings are not capable of respecting the rules of society. “We are all part of the Leviathan (the State) in which we have a specific function depending on where we are, the closer to the head of the Leviathan, the more important our role” . This is a very detailed way of explaining... halfway through the document... what the obligation is to maintain peace and security and ensure continuous development, and whether it is necessary to create certain rules that could be classified as radical but never violate the Declaration of Human Rights, let it be.
