    We don’t need to start from Hobbes

    Recommends Hobbes as a starting point

    I agree 100% but just had a bit of a giggle

      lol. I realized that as I was writing that. But I went with it. Hobbes is a great starting point for people new to political philosophy.

      We just don’t need to start with him.

      I think John Rawls is a better starting place if we were to start a society from scratch. Just a bit harder for people less used to reading philosophical works.
