When it comes to Hobbes, it is easy to think of his theory of human nature thought, the famous "people to people like wolves" point of view for people to think about their own human nature plays an important role and thinking. But with Hobbes’s contract ethics thought, people may also were not feel strange, because he’s famous leviathan is enough to express his political philosophy or state theory. If so, the article continues to choose to study or Hobbes’contract ethics thoughts, its meaning and value (or theoretical significance and novelty) and where is it? Seems such research is no longer need, its research value does not seem to have very big.To this, naturally the answer is "no". Study of Hobbes and contract ethics thought, the more the deeper, instead of the more proven in today’s society and human development has important significance and reference value, the more important things to the more easily aroused people’s concern and attention, the more valuable thought theory to the more worth people to constantly with the development of, those few people pay attention to and study the subject at least in one area is not so important (or accurately, the research of the meaning and value is extremely limited).This is one of them. Thanks to contract Hobbes thought research very much, the result is that people couldn’t help only focused on its various theory point of view-is extremely significance (that is, a certain part or several parts), but overlooked the argument is one of the most important theoretical presupposition and proof, the results of this is easy to make their own understanding is one-sided, and is unfavorable to the formation of philosophy thinking mode, itself but is ignored the most important part of it. This is the second. Article, therefore, the study of ethics thought Hobbes contract not repeat the former research theory, more is not without any theoretical or practical value, on the contrary, in Hobbes’s philosophical thinking is rigorous philosophical argument (process) as a starting point and the research Angle of view, but also shows it has the important theory significance and value.The argument that "reason" to persuade others, this is the most basic and most important needs. Based on this, this article mainly launches the argument is divided into four parts:the first part is for Hobbes background and the predecessors’ theory of human nature to make an overview of the inheritance and mainly involves the background of the Renaissance, the environment and Hobbes’personal background and experience, and thus raises Hobbes thought and theory of human nature. The second part mainly elaborated the social contract ethics thought is how to produce, which revolves around the "human nature" to the core, basic problems and discussions, demonstrates the human nature is in detail how to influence the formation of social contract and the establishment of a social contract, the possibility of the problem. The third part is the result of a social contract, thought that the state, through the social contract, how to prove the rationality of the authoritarian country produce? Hobbes through his default made a good answer on this question, and thus enables us to its human nature (as a premise and foundation) to rethink and review again. The fourth part is the last part, ends with the reflection to the contract ethics thought Hobbes, is a summary of full text, is also a philosophy of (political) for the future development of a new beginning.Along this train of thought, follow the contract ethics thought Hobbes, formation and development footprint of argument, in the process to find one belong to contract the nature of ethical spirit, Hobbes believes will learn and benefit a lot.
