I made this presentation for an ethics reading group discussion about Thomas Hobbes & the Leviathan. This is a classic work that most people do not know much about, except the quote that life in the state of nature would be ‘nasty, brutish and short’. Hobbes has a lot more to teach, and I have an unorthodox way of explaining an unorthodox thinker. This is a 20 minute video on Hobbes’s significance to the history of empiricism and why he values peace.
