Beyond the Sovereign | The Legacy of Thomas Hobbes complete #documentary
Dive into the complex and provocative world of Thomas Hobbes, a pivotal figure in political philosophy, whose ideas about society, governance, and human nature continue to resonate centuries later.
This video explores Hobbes's life, from his early intellectual curiosity to his profound impact during the tumultuous times of the English Civil War, which significantly shaped his thoughts on authority and social order.
Understand Hobbes's groundbreaking concept of the social contract and his justification for a strong, centralized state as necessary for societal peace and security.
We'll delve into his most influential work, "Leviathan," discussing its arguments for absolute sovereign power and its lasting influence on political thought. Additionally, we contrast Hobbes's perspectives with those of contemporaries like John Locke, providing a broader view of early modern political theory.
