霍布斯恐惧的内在关联

Internal Relevance of Hobbes′ Fear

霍布斯与恐惧相伴终生,但恐惧带给霍布斯的并不只是怯懦,还有成就。对重返自然状态的恐惧使得霍布斯意识到主权权力的重要性,对主权者命运的恐惧使得霍布斯觉察到知识权力泛滥的危害性,而用强大到极限的主权权力的恐惧来对抗知识权力扩张的恐惧又是霍布斯所追求的终极政治目标。

Fear has accompanied Hobbes for lifelong, which brings him not only cowardice, but achievements as well. Because of his fear of returning to the natural state, he perceives the importance of sovereign power, and because of his fear of the sovereign＇s fate, he perceives the dangers of knowledge power. It is Hobbes＇ ultimate political goals that the fear of sovereign power defeats the fear of the power of knowledge.
