Internal Contradictions of the Legal Thought of Hobbes and their Defusion

英国著名启蒙思想家霍布斯的法律思想包含有自然法、自然权利、社会契约、绝对主权等法律范畴。其中社会契约论和绝对主权观之间,自然权利和绝对主权之间,自由和权威之间都存在着矛盾关系,而霍布斯却一一将其化解,使其整个法律理论得以自洽。

The legal thought of Thomas Hobbes,the famous English enlightenment thinkier,contains some law categories such as natural law,natural right,social contract,absolute sovereignty.Among them,there are contradictions between the theory of social contract and the conception of absolute sovereignty,between the conception of natural right and the conception of absolute sovereignty,and between the conception of freedom and authority.In spite of all,Hobbes successfully defused such contradictions and made his whole legal theory valid.
