Most traditional approaches to possession conditions have been concerned with t...

  Sujet 1 CORRIGÉ 1. Dans ce texte, il s’agit pour Hobbes de déterminer ce que doit être une loi pour être une bonne loi. L’idée a pour elle la simplicité de l’évidence : une bonne loi, c’est une loi qui satisfait aux exigences de ce qu’une loi doit être, c’est-à-dire qui en remplit la finalité. De même que la manière la plus simple de définir un marteau, c’est encore de dire qu’il s’agit d’un outil destiné à enfoncer des clous, de même ici Hobbes entend définir la loi par le but qui est le sien ; or...
