霍布斯如何描述人类自然状态的特质？就什么意义而言人在自然中是平等的？为何自然状态是一种战争的状态？在自然状态中人会被约束吗？ - 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
从这个观点来看,人类是欲望和厌恶大拼盘，只凭藉感官上的持续刺激而存活,个性也不断转变,即在行为上一辈子都无贯彻到底的目标,也没有所谓的至善,更没所谓人类为迎合本性而试著去达到目标之说。
