In legal theory, law cannot be deduced from right. T. Hobbes may have known this. In Leviathan, however, he draws natural law out of natural right, which makes his political theory complicated. How can we interpret the relation of natural law to natural right in Hobbes? Natural right is definitively considered. What Hobbes calls natural right corresponds to man's behavior in the state of nature. According to his political theory, he defines natural law as the dicates of reason. What he calls reason is deliberation in man7s behavior. Thus, the present author could regard man's behavior as a key to the explanation for Hobbes's concept of natural law and natural right. By mean of the key, the question was worked out whether natural law can be decduced from natural right or not.

D. H. Lawrence is apt to be misunderstood. Among all sorts of calumniations, what most maliciously framed is to have reckoned him to be an autocrat or a dictator like Hitler before and during the Second World War. It is deemed that this might have been caused, because he tried to maintain his dignity to be a writer by nature ; that is, to be natural as a writere for him was the foremost principle for him. So that he did not take any heed of criticism toward him, but pursued his own sensibility. Accordingly, he was a born traveler and adventurer who found the spirit of place that his sensibility had chosen. He thought, 'A book lives as long as it is unfathomed' and he lived a life which was immeasurable. Lawrence did not utilize any kind of technique that twentieth century writers such as Proust or Joyce did. He used only his sensibility so that nature made him know how he developed his new way of life. From these points of view, I scrutinized how Lawrence was thought to be a Primitivist in this thesis.
