You are responsible for Links 1-7 (You do not have to read the entire Leviathan, but I have included a link), and the remainder are an assortment of optional readings to provide broader perspective and greater depth.
Fun and Games Exercise:
You will be asked to ID quotes from Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Montesquieu and Voltaire. You must study the language and the philosophical principles discussed in order to correctly match the passage and the philosopher. Each passage contains a distinguishing principle. Therefore, the better you know the philosopher, the better you should do. THIS IS NOT AN EXERCISE ABOUT MEMORIZING PASSAGES.
