Phil339 - World Views and Christianity

Assignment Task

Question

1. In Hobbes' Leviathan, he lays out the reason for the need for the Leviathan (a monarch or an assembly like a parliament). Using the readings from Descartes, Hobbes and / or Rousseau, how is his secular government an embodiment of a religious / Christian worldview? How does Luther play a role in this shift?

You don't have to use all three (Descartes, Hobbes and Rousseau), but you may. You may also use Holland to help you think this through. I would say Gregory VII's reforms play a role in this, but there are many ways to arrive at an interesting answer. My point is to get you to think through this new early modern 'secularity' in which we move today.
