TORRES SANABRIA, ADRIANA ROCÍO. An Approach to the Role of Education in the Political Theory of Thomas Hobbes. Cuad. linguist. hisp. [online]. 2019, n.33, pp.41-56. ISSN 0121-053X.  https://doi.org/10.19053/0121053x.n33.2019.8953.

This paper shows a part of the reflections that have been made, based on authors of the modernity, in this specific case Thomas Hobbes, on the concept of education and the sense that this philosopher gives to it within his political theory. For this, in the first place, the state of nature will be established, because that initial condition of the man, exposed by Hobbes, has to be described and, in this sense, to analyze the function of education; then the idea of social pact as the foundation of the Civil State will be developed, and finally the function of education is explained, taking into account Hobbes's thought, the man in his state of nature and what the pact seeks to solve.

Keywords : education; Civil State; state of nature; social pact.
