Leviathan Decapitated: The English Civil War (Hobbes, Pt. 3)
Part Three of our section on Thomas Hobbes and Leviathan, part of a larger series entitled Foundations of Western Political Thought. For this video we examine the historical context surrounding the 1651 publication of Leviathan, including the breakout of civil war in England in 1642, the rise of Oliver Cromwell, the trial and execution of King Charles I in 1649, the establishment of the Commonwealth of England and later the Protectorate in 1653, concluding with the Restoration of the Stuart crown in 1660. In the middle of this turmoil, while in exile in Paris, Hobbes authored Leviathan; ironically, he had to flee Paris and return to England because the work was extraordinarily controversial among exiled royalists and French Catholic absolutists.
