Isolated individuals might of course exist, but they are the exception. Of course, enlightenment philosophers who had no idea of evolution couldn't know this fact. | |

| Jun 23, 2016 at 6:08 | comment | added | virmaior | I wonder though if this is really correct in terms of what we see in nature. This sounds very much like the myth we get from Hobbes rather than depiction of the way human animals would behave pre-societally. (I say this neither to deny that the answer has some validity but rather as a comment precisely of the thinking out-loud sort). | |
