Hobbes quote: are Laws of Nature just theorems?
3 years ago
6
These dictates of reason men used to call by the name of laws, but improperly: for they are but conclusions or theorems concerning what conduceth to the conservation and defence of themselves; whereas law, properly, is the word of him that by right hath command over others. But yet if we consider the same theorems as delivered in the word of God that by right commandeth all things, then are they properly called laws.
From Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes; Chapter 15, Of Other Laws of Nature.
