论霍布斯的国家权力观

On Hobbes’ National Power

霍布斯以人性论与社会契约论作为其国家权力观的理论原点,并把生命权作为人的绝对的权利,认为人在没有公共权力保护自己的情况下会展开相互的斗争,从而使得生命保存成为不可能。为了保护个人权利,他认为必须要赋予国家以绝对的权力。他虽然明确指出了这种绝对国家权力的行使范围,但却没有对防止国家权力越出界限作出有效的制度安排。

Hobbes uses human nature and social contract theory as his theoretical basis, and chases the life fight as an absolute fight. He thinks if person have no public power to protect themselves, there will be a mutual conflict making life conservancy impossible. For protecting personal right, he thinks the nation must be given absolute power. Although he definitely points out the exercise scope of absolute national power, he didn＇t make a valid system arrangement towards prevent national power from breaking through the limitation.
