Hobbes and Rawls

Your weekly writing assignment is a little different this week. Please answer BOTH AND B. Please write a minimum of 200 words on Option A AND a minimum of 200 words on Option B. In other words your assignment should total at least 400 words. (You are always invited to write a little more if you would like to, or if you feel it necessary to convey your thinking about the question)

As always, examples from texts or videos and/or your own personal experience help me to know that you understand the theory.

If you cite a source, please make sure that you cite that source correctly.

You must quote directly from the assigned texts at least two (2) times in each question. (That is, four (4) quotes in total.)

A: Do you agree with Hobbess view of human nature? (What are people like, according to Hobbes?) Is self-interest the only motivation that people have in their dealings with one another? Why do you think so? Why do you disagree? Please support your answer.

B: What’s the point of the veil of ignorance in Rawls’s theory? Why would classical utilitarianism be rejected in the original position? Think of an issue you care about that raises questions of justice. (I’ve included a link to a website below that offers some ideas.) How do you suppose the veil of ignorance would apply to such an issue?
