his essay, the author will demonstrate that Hobbes believes that the cruel nature of human beings causes the state of nature to be a war of all against all. To do this, we will explain the difference between collective and individual rationality and how it applies to human beings in the Hobbesian state of nature. Also, we will identify the assumptions that cause Hobbes to believe the state of nature is a war of all against all and explain why he needs them. By delving into this assumptions, we can abandon our philosophical heritage from Locke and understand the opposite position of Hobbes.

The paper analyzes the government-university-industry consortia (GUI) collaboration for the development of Photovoltaic power systems in German. The paper reveals the government effort for the development of PV energy systems. Since 1990, German government has assisted in the research and development (R&D) of PV technology, and the government has disbursed several million of dollars for the development of PV technology. The collaboration of the universities and the industries has also led to the rapid development of PV technology in Germany. The GUI collaboration has enhanced the costs reduction of Photovoltaic energy systems. However, the research findings show that PV investment is still expensive. The paper recommends that a firm that intends to enter the PV market should collaborate with the government to have to enjoy financial, logistics and administrative supports.
