Description
Are humans social creatures like bees, as Aristotle thought, or do they behave towards each other like wolves, as Hobbes maintained? Does society, the ordered community, logically come first, and the laws that preserve the peace within it follow, or is law, the social contract, set up first, since only strife and conflict are encountered before its establishment? This question lies behind the title and runs through the pages of the book.
