To what extent do conservatives have a common view on human nature
P1- most conservatives agree that human nature is imperfect and irrational
Thomas Hobbes argues that humans are morally physiologically and intellectually
imperfect and incapable of rational thought.
EXPLAIN THE THREE IMPERFECTIONS
Humans without a state will not live because life would be nasty brutish and short there is
no society without a state because humans are so ruthless.
A social contract between an absolute monarch and society will be signed were some
rights are given away in return for stability
Traditional, one nation and neo conservatives all agree with this to the extent that human
nature is irrational over the extent of how rational humans are di ers slightly
ex. Okashotte believes humans are fallible but capable of benevolence
Burke believes that whilst still being imperfect people can group together based o of
their imperfections
P2- disagreement between trad and neo liberals on human nature
Neo liberals believe in natural order.
Ryand believes that humans are capable of objectives, they are morally prefect enough to
make own decisions and pressure them
Nozik believes in atomistic individualism where people are capable of being without a
society for order.
Whereas traditional conservatives believe that human nature is incapable of objective
ideas and thoughts
P3- disagreement between trad and one nation on how state or society should
manage human nature
Traditionall- state should be powerful and threshold be natural hierarchy is society
Bruke Prague’s for a trustee model where those who are born morally more perfect than
others at at the top and paternally look after those below
One nation- agree to an extent however disagree over the extent of partials. Believe in
having a far larger and more interventionist state because human nature is pulling the two
nations of rich and poor apart and so favours for economic involvement to prevent that
Neo liberals believe that society should mange human nature by allowing fo natural order
of meritocracy rather than a hierarchy. Everyone is able to make their own choices and be
free from state intervention and so favour a nighwatchement state that doesn’t get
involved in people’s individual deicisom making because it doesn’t have to as people are
morally capable enough

, P4- disagreement between new right on how society should manage human nature
Neo liberals believe that society should mange human nature by allowing fo natural order
of meritocracy rather than a hierarchy. Everyone is able to make their own choices and be
free from state intervention and so favour a nighwatchement state that doesn’t get
involved in people’s individual deicisom making because it doesn’t have to as people are
morally capable enough
We don’t need to be polices we need to have decentralised power form the state to the
individual
Ryand bellies that decisions over women’s bodies such s abolriotns and choices like
homosexuality shouldn’t be polices because popes shave their own minds and can make
good choices for thesmelves
However neo conservatives believe that the state should have large power over human
nature because it is mineral./ stop ofrucs on the state police morality by law and order
Strong evidence of this happening throughout thatcher’s. Leadership through the video
nasties moral panic and the short sharp shock and section 28
Stong satte is needed as people cant make moral decisions for themselves
To what extent do conservatives agree on the economy
P1- broad agreement between all
- the role of the state is to defend economic contracts and private property
- All conservatives defend capitalism and reject the revolutionary socialist view of
getting rid of it
- All agree that private property is key in order to mailing phsycolgical security for
individuals in society to feel protected especially in times of recession nd
depression they have someone that is there’s
- Privacy property reduced the amount of reliance people have on the state which
is an agreement of all even neo lib
P2- Disagreement between one nation and trad on the size of intervention
P3- disagreement between one nation and neo liberals
- one nation conservatives such s macmillan believe that the nation is turning into
two nations the rich and the poor. Therefore capitalism needs to be rested and
greater state intervention is needed in order to begin to redistribute wealth in
order to make society morre equal. Favour a had up not a hand out
Neo liberals argue that (Ryan) humans are capable objectivity and therefore have
the rational capabilities to compete in a free market lassie faire economy.
Nozik argues tha tax is theft humans have the intellectually capabilities to spend
their own money doesn’t need to be given to the state to protect morality.
Favours privatisation of industries and competition in the market
Favour created on wealth in the capitalism system rather than redistributing it
