In this episode, we explore Thomas Hobbes’s towering treatise, Leviathan, a foundational text of modern political philosophy. Hobbes portrays the “state of nature” as a realm of constant fear and conflict—driven by humanity’s primal instincts and desires. To escape this life “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short,” individuals consent to an all-powerful sovereign, forging a social contract that upholds peace and security. Our discussion unpacks Hobbes’s stark vision of human nature, his arguments for absolute authority, and the enduring debates his work has sparked around freedom, power, and governance. By episode’s end, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of why Leviathan remains a critical touchstone in debates over the legitimate scope and role of government.
