2. Lev1 Hobbes casts the laws of nature as the conclusions of reason in.13, 188; and 1.14, 189. He describes the laws of nature specifically as conclusions ofrightreason atDe Cive1.15, 119; 2.1, 122–3 and atEl Law1.14.6, 79.
3. A note on methodology: Hobbes remarks on glory and the laws of nature throughout his corpus; I draw primarily from relevant passages in his three main political works. Throughout the political writings there are more or less constant views about glory seeking and about the conception and function of the laws of nature. I note any relevant differences as I proceed.
