Whatever man desires, he calls good; the object of<br />

his hate and aversion evil; the object of his contempt,<br />

vile and inconsiderable.<br />

<strong>Hobbes</strong> takes it that good, evil and contemptible are<br />

only descriptions of our sentiment, not some<br />

description of the object’s nature.<br />

“Felicity of this life consisteth not in the repose of a<br />

mind satisfied. There is no such… utmost aim,… or<br />

greatest good.”
