- Professor Charles Anderson discusses the social and political thought of Thomas Hobbes in a lecture which comes from a course on Political, Economic, & Social Thought given at the University of Wisconsin many years ago. He discusses Hobbes on reason, human nature, the state of nature, and the social contract, among other things. More lectures from this course: • Charles Anderson Lectures

Who is this lecturer? He is utterly engaging and true to his words and sincerity.
Thank you for posting these political philosophy talks series
Reason is not the antidote for distrust, only compassion, faith, and love ultimately overcome our suspicions and distrust.
Great lecture. I had been searching for an in-depth on Hobbes for a while on RUclips to have this cure my itch.
To desire is human, to be content is divine.
nice lecture, but don't miss out on Hobbes in his own writings. Astoundingly analytical & seemingly modern at times, well versed in the bible and antiquity while brushing off religious zealots offhand etc. ...
Hats off the CA, his lectures force you to read the book.
Great lecture.

Do you think that his lifelong Dyspepsia caused him to be a misanthrope? Just like Calvin over in Geneva?
Lol. Perhaps.
I know my inflamed gallbladder makes me a misanthrope at times.
Most philosophers are hugely influenced by their biological temperament.

Wow, I have no right to determine when government is legitimate or illegitimate because I am in no position to do so, this seems to be very true, even with the vote and contractual rights I.e. the Constitution, where we have the ‘right’ to take up arms against a tyrannical government, there is always that nagging problem, are we able to do it ? That begs the question that a tyrannical government must be so oppressive that dying is the same as living ? Hmm, excellent point.
When I think of f Liberalism, I never think of Hobbes.
There is much that physics cannot adequately explain. He who thinks that physical explanation is the only real explanation does not even understand himself.
One should question the pseudo-rationality of these thinkers. How, for example, could you 'reason' from same set of premises, yet reach very different conclusions -- as did Hobbes and Locke. There is little reason to believe in the 'reason' of such thinkers.
