State of nature

Japanese: 自然状態 - しぜんじょうたい(英語表記)State of nature
State of nature
The state humans were in before they artificially formed political society. It is a hypothesis that was developed in response to the question of why humans form society, with the intention of first dismantling existing social relations and then theoretically reconstructing them from the individuals that make them up, and is an inseparable concept from the social contract theory. However, the view of the state of nature differs depending on the theorist; T. Hobbes considered it to be a state of war, while J.-J. Rousseau considered it to be a golden age. J. Locke took a middle ground.

Japanese:
人為的に政治社会を形成する以前に,人間がおかれていた状態。人間はなぜ社会を形成するのかという問いに対して,一度現存の社会関係を解体し,それを構成する個人から理論的に再構成しようとする意図から考察された仮説で社会契約説とは不可分の概念。ただし論者によって自然状態観はそれぞれ異なり,T.ホッブズはそれを戦争状態と考え,J.-J.ルソーは黄金時代とした。 J.ロックはその中間をとった。
