          Abstract

          Thomas Hobbes explica en Leviathan que el estado de naturaleza, privado de gobierno, de instituciones políticas o sociales, de leyes y hasta de contratos legalmente establecidos, otorga libertad absoluta a los individuos, al tiempo que los condena a una guerra perpetua entre ellos, que se ven obligados a vivir siempre con gran inseguridad y miedo a una muerte violenta. Dicho pensador enumera diversas razones por las que los seres humanos llegan a sentir enemistad entre sí en el estado de naturaleza, entre las que incluye los conflictos que proceden del apetito incontrolable por poseer los bienes que no pueden ser divididos o disfrutados de común acuerdo. Mediante el uso de la fuerza, se decide que tales bienes sean poseídos por los más fuertes. Ahora bien, la igualdad existente entre los hombres para matarse mutuamente provoca un sentimiento de miedo que llega a sustituir la inclinación dirigida a prevalecer, de un modo u otro. En tales circunstancias, Hobbes parece pronunciarse a favor de una libertad negativa que, de hecho, deconstruiría la dicotomía binaria formada por la pugna existente entre deseos y temores.

          Translated abstract

          In Leviathan, Thomas Hobbes implies that the state of nature, devoid of government, political or social institutions, laws, or legally enforceable agreements, allows absolute freedom to individuals at the same time that condemns them to perpetual war with each other, so that they were compelled to live all the time with insecurity and fear of a violent death. Hobbes enumerates a variety of reasons of why men are at enmity with each other in the state of nature, they include the conflicts that are the result from the appetite for the things that cannot be divided or enjoyed in common. By the use of force, it is decided that those goods go to the strongest one. Now then, the equality of men with respect to their ability to kill each other creates fear among them. In order to resolve the binary dichotomy expressed in the opposition between desires and fears, Hobbes seems to favor a deconstructive strategy directed toward the implementation of anthropological practices that might be considered examples of negative freedom.
