Detailed explanation-1: -The points of contrast between the two thinkers are upheld in their concept of human nature. Hobbes depicted that human beings are egoistic, selfish and quarrelsome. While on the contrary Locke believed that human beings are altruistic, selfless, peace loving and good.
Detailed explanation-2: -The English philosopher Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) famously leaned in the latter direction. He argued in his book Leviathan that, without government, life would be “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.”
Detailed explanation-3: -The natural condition of mankind, according to Hobbes, is a state of war in which life is “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short” because individuals are in a “war of all against all” (L 186).
Detailed explanation-4: -Hobbes was a proponent of Absolutism, a system which placed control of the state in the hands of a single individual, a monarch free from all forms of limitations or accountability. Locke, on the other hand, favored a more open approach to state-building.
