Translate the following text. a) Hobbes, who saw Mankind in an unfavorable attitude, involved in all the distraction and misery of a civil war, seems to have taken too narrow and partial a view of our nature, and has therefore drawn it in a very odious and uncomfortable light. Next to the desire of selfpreservation, he makers the governing passions in man, the love of glory and of power, and from these, by an arbitrary, unnatural and unsupported hypothesis, contrary to common experience, and common language, he attempts to deduce all the other passions which inflame the minds and influence the manners of men. All men, he said, are by nature equal, that is to say, according to his own explanation, the weakest can do as much mischief as the strongest. All desire, and have and equal right to the same things, and want to excel each other in power and honor, but as it is impossible for all to possess the same things, or to obtain a pre-eminence in power and honor, hence must arise mutual contest, a natural passion to invade the property and lever the power and character of each other, and to raise and secure themselves against the attempts of others.

10. Translate the following text. All these and many more enquiries will be given a firmer basis through the study of logic which, as mentioned earlier, is a discipline in its own right, taught in departments either of philosophy or of mathematics. It is important that any student should develop consistency in argument and be able to structure his ideas so as to be able to recognise the difference between arguments which are both valid and sound, valid but not sound, and neither valid nor sound. He will learn the distinction between deductive and inductive reasoning, and in general should discover that the process of studying logic, whether symbolic or philosophical, will train the mind as exercise trains the body. In a world dominated by people who, if their bodies were as their minds, would be fat and flabby, a mind trained to distinguish between sound reasoning on the one hand and emotive arguments, special pleading, and downright deception on the other should not be underestimated, even if the process of acquiring it may sometimes be painful People inevitably involve themselves with others, and the process often results in complexities within the relationships so created. Decisions have to be made about right and wrong behavior, about which human characteristics are most worth encouraging and developing, and which moral and social priorities should be upheld.
