Hobbes, Knowledge And The Constitution

Abstract: 3 pages in length. Challenging universal truth of any given entity that can be construed as knowledge formulates the basis upon which Hobbes' argument for falsifiability exists. Clearly, unfalsifiability stands as strong a conviction for the validity of a proclaimed piece of knowledge as lack of scientific proof stands against it. Should everyone become skeptics and empiricists, or are there other ways of knowing that cannot necessarily be empirically proven that are also valuable and necessary? Hobbes did not believe this to be so, inasmuch as knowledge cannot be unequivocally and universally true if the potential for proving the opposite is not considered part of the overall equation. Applying this theory to what Hobbes perceived as the 'best' constitution, one might readily agree to support his conclusions. Bibliography lists 1 source.
