Abstract
Description
David Gauthier interpreta el conflicto en el estado de naturaleza hobbesiano como un conflicto de orden racional surgido de la necesidad de los hombres de preservar la integridad e incrementar el bienestar individual. Desde su punto de vista, la solución hobbesiana a este conflicto plantea un esquema moral –con asiento racional– que permite compatibilizar las expectativas individuales y colectivas. En este estudio reconstruyo los argumentos que ofrece Gautier para sostener la tesis de que el contenido moral de las leyes de la naturaleza, presupuesto básico del contrato social, permite compatibilizar las expectativas individuales y colectivas.
David Gauthier interprets the conflict in the Hobbesian state of nature as a rational conflict arisen from the need of men to preserve their integrity and to increase their individual welfare. From his point of view, the Hobbesian solution to this conflict exposes a moral scheme –with a rational support- allowing the compatibility between individual and collective expectations. In this study I present the arguments that Gauthier offers to defend the idea that the Hobbesian moral theory premised on the dynamics of social contract reconciles individual and collective expectations.
