A. Human will, did not imply anything spiritual or transcendental
B. Perpetual tranquility of mind
C. Life itself is a motion
D. There is existence of greatest good
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct option is A

In Hobbes's philosophy, particularly in his work "Leviathan," he argued that human will does not imply anything spiritual or transcendental; it is purely mechanical. Also, Hobbes believed that life itself is a motion, a series of mechanistic processes. His materialist view of human nature emphasized that everything, including human thoughts and actions, could be explained by physical causes.
Information Booster:
· Hobbes viewed human beings as motivated by self-preservation and fear of death.
· He rejected the existence of an ultimate "greatest good," which contradicts option D.
· Hobbes believed in a "social contract" to escape the "state of nature," which is a state of perpetual conflict.
· He is a foundational thinker in the tradition of political realism.
· Hobbes’s mechanistic view of human behavior influences later materialist philosophies.
· His philosophy is a precursor to modern understandings of political authority and statecraft.
Additional Information:
· Perpetual tranquility of mind: Not Hobbes’s concept; he emphasized constant human desires and fears.
· Existence of greatest good: Hobbes denied this, contrasting with classical moral philosophy.
· Life as Motion: Reflects his materialist and mechanistic worldview.
· Human Will: Seen as a response to stimuli rather than a metaphysical concept.
