summum bonum 〔拉丁語〕最高善,至善。

In this view , each human being is an array of appetites and aversions , continuously stimulated into existence by sensory events , and continually changing in character , so that there is no overall aim for human action over the course of a lifetime - no such thing as a summum bonum or “ highest good “ , no condition of being that mankind tries to achieve in order to suit its nature 從這個觀點來看,人類是欲望和厭惡大拼盤,只憑藉感官上的持續刺激而存活,個性也不斷轉變,即在行為上一輩子都無貫徹到底的目標,也沒有所謂的至善,更沒所謂人類為迎合本性而試著去達到目標之說。

How does hobbes characterize human nature ? what are the drives or motives of human beings ? what do they desire ? what , if anything , is their summum bonum ( greatest good ) 霍布斯如何描述人類自然狀態的特質?就什么意義而言人在自然中是平等的?為何自然狀態是一種戰爭的狀態?在自然狀態中人會被約束嗎?
