Hobbes, Obedience, Knowledge, State of nature, Law of natureAbstract
This article presents three conflicting interpretations of Thomas Hobbes’ justification of the obligation of obedience in Leviathan. These interpretations result in different understandings of the Hobbesian concepts of knowledge, state of nature, and law of nature. The intention of the article is to show the deficiencies of the so- called scientific and moral interpretations in order to defend the interpretation of a critical and recursive justification of the obligation of obedience.
