This paper examines the extent to which Hobbes’ utilisation of natural rights for human beings, points him in an absolutist direction. The paper examines this in reference to his “Laws of nature”. The paper begins by outlining the aspects of the laws of nature, and follows with an evaluation of all three parts of the law. The study then examines the criticism that Hobbes’ law of nature faces, and conclusions are made regarding the discussed topics and the idea that human beings are endowed with ‘natural rights’.
