Racionalidade e moralidade em Hobbes

摘要

This article aims at investigating the statute of morality in Hobbes, taking into consideration the difficulty brought about by the fact that the philosopher seems to oscillate between uncoupling and linking moral behavior to individual interest and to one's own usefulness. This oscillation makes allowances for distinct interpretations of Hobbesian moral, considered genuine by some researchers and merely prudent by others. The following then aspires to test the pertinence of both interpretations.
