Hobbes: Apostle of Leviathan (Hobbes, Pt. 1)
New section of the lecture series, Foundations of Western Political Thought -- this time on Thomas Hobbes, English philosopher and political thinker of the seventeenth century. Hobbes is most famous for his 1651 book Leviathan, where he explains the origins of the state. In a state of nature, people exist in a war of all against all; to escape that barbaric state, they agree to a mutual covenant, or social contract, resulting in the establishment of the Sovereign authority: an authority whose sovereignty is absolute and must not therefore be resisted.
