What is central for Locke's argument is the abundance.
-
He can make this argument because the primary assumption
-
is that what we desire is available in great abundance to us.
-
We have seen that Hobbes had the opposite idea. Right?
-
We are fighting each other
-
because what we actually desire is a scarce good,
-
too many people want,
-
and then we kill each other to get it. Right?
-
So there is a scarcity assumption in Hobbes,
-
and there is an abundance hypothesis in Locke,
-
and you have to make up your mind
-
who is appealing to you more.
