“During the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called war; and such a war as is of every man against every man,” Hobbes famously wrote. During man’s natural anarchical state, there was “no account of time; no arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.”[22]
