Maimonides/Political Theory
[ send me this essay ]
A 7 page research paper that examines the philosophical viewpoint of 12th century Jewish philosopher Moses Maimonides in regards to 'perfect law.' Maimonides proposed that humanity should model all law on Biblical law, which is by definition 'perfect' due to his divine origin.

War is Inevitable
[ send me this essay ]
A 14 page paper which addresses the inevitability of war. The first portion of the paper is examined using Thomas Hobbes' work 'Of the First and Second Natural Laws, and of Contracts.' The inherent nature of man is to protect himself at all costs. This is our way of surviving. We have not gotten this far in the evolutionary chain by giving in to the controls of others. Even those of us who do not wish to fight, will do so when directly threatened, or when our families are directly threatened. While we might like to imagine a world where there is no such thing as war, the realities of our species and of life itself, prove otherwise. The second portion of the paper discusses the inevitability of war based on Hobbes' theory of government, which is essentially just a larger group of people with the same need to protect. This section details portions of the works titled 'Of the Natural Condition of Mankind As Concerning their Felicity and Misery' and 'The Elements of Law Natural and Political.' In the third section all of the theories are essentially summed up in relationship to Hobbes' theories involving teh inevitablity of war. No additional sources cited.
