For this, in the first</div><div>place, the state of nature will be established, because that initial condition of the man,</div><div>exposed by Hobbes, has to be described and, in this sense, to analyze the function of</div><div>education; then the idea of social pact as the foundation of the Civil State will be</div><div>developed, and finally the function of education is explained, taking into account Hobbes's</div><div>thought, the man in his state of nature and what the pact seeks to solve</div> ER -
