Annotations This book is unique because it contains a literary criticism that was made by Juan AcevedoLeviathan as reading a text, an essay, an exhibition of ideas, a political theory. A conception of how a society should be governed. Reading comes from the Latin voice "legere," which is related to the ideas of picking, harvesting, acquiring a fruit. In general, reading leads to deciphering a message, in order to know reality and ourselves. Specifically, it refers to the deciphering of signs, related to personal experience to get to interpret a message.This leads to three levels: first, the correlation of visual and sound image; second, domain of decoding; and third, as a process of access to human knowledge and experience derived from a written message (books, magazines, essays, printed material).Secondly, the text is complex, it is intertextual, within reading and critical analysis, so you have to make inferences (deduce), make queries: to clarify concepts, terms, meanings [meaning, the meaning, the specific meaning in which you can take a word or an expression that can acquire a word or a phrase, depending on the context.Free will or free choice (as a power to act by reflection and choice). It is the approach of those philosophical doctrines that hold that humans, or other animals, have the power to choose and make their own decisions.The natural rightEthical and legal doctrine that postulates the existence of human rights founded or determined in human nature. It advocates the existence of a set of universal, prior, superior and independent rights to positive law and customary law.Hobbes, defines in the Leviathan the natural right as: The freedom that each one has of using his own power at his discretion for the conservation of his nature, that is, of his life, and consequently of doing anything that, according to his judgment and his reason, he conceives as the most suitable means for that purpose.The remote origins of the idea of natural law are found in Plato (4th century BC), particularly in his work Republic and Law. In his Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle, for his part, distinguishes between legal or conventional justice and natural justice.Scholastic philosophy.Scholasticism ('the one that belongs to the school'). The dominant theological-philosophical trend of medieval thought, was based on the coordination between faith and reason, supposed a clear subordination of reason to faith ('philosophy is a servant of theology').
