Leviatán no es solo un libro: es el acta de nacimiento delmundo moderno. Antes de Hobbes, la política era teología disfrazada. Después de Hobbes, es ingeniería social. Nos guste o no, vivimos dentro del Leviatán que él imaginó: un gigante hecho de millones de personitas que renunciaron apegarse para que alguien pegue por todos. Leerlo es entender que la libertad absoluta es un lujo que nadie se puede permitir… y que la seguridad siempre tiene precio. Es el libro más valiente y más triste que se ha escrito nunca sobre ser humano."Crónicas Lunares di Sun" es un podcast cultural presentado por Irving Sun, que abarca una variedad de temas, desde la literatura y análisis de libros hasta discusiones sobre actualidad y personajes históricos.

John McGowan joins me to discuss Liberty as Independence, Quentin Skinner's new book about the way that our ideals of liberty were formed in in 17th and 18th century debates. The book covers legendary figures, such as Hobbes, Milton, Locke, Swift, Paine, and Jefferson, as well as many lesser-known figures that they engaged with.For more from John McGowan, here's the link to his blog: https://jzmcgowan.com/public-intelligence-blog/ Finally, I'd like to apologize to Badger from The Wind in the Willows. In this episode, I repeatedly refer to him as "Mr. Badger." He is simply, as befits his status, Badger or The Badger. I regret the error.

A battle for supremacy with AI over 1970s movie soundtracks.Episode 221 is the appetizer of GenX nostalgia before Thanksgiving week.We start with a rise and fall for the ages. Imagine going from on top of the world to being dropped by your record label in an instant. That is what happened to the pop duo Milli Vanilli 35 years ago this week. In one of the most infamous scandals in music history, a chart-topping group was exposed as frauds and ostracized from the industry. We do a deep dive into the unbelievable but true story of Milli Vanilli.40 years ago this week a new comic strip debuted and changed the way people viewed them. Calvin and Hobbes brought insight and thought-provoking conversations to the typically simple world of newspaper comics.

It's a 40th anniversary celebration of the beloved comic strip this week.Me v. AI Top 5 returns with a bang and maybe some funky dance moves.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for November 4, 2025 is: spontaneous • spahn-TAY-nee-us • adjective Spontaneous describes something that is done or said in a natural and often sudden way and without a lot of thought or planning. It can describe a person who does things that have not been planned but that seem enjoyable and worth doing at a particular time. // The kitten captured our hearts, and we made the spontaneous decision to adopt. // He's a fun and spontaneous guy, always ready for the next big adventure. See the entry > Examples: "The Harlem Renaissance was filled with poetry and song—and with performance, as enshrined in [filmmaker William] Greaves's footage which features many spontaneous, thrillingly theatrical recitations of poems by Bontemps, Hughes, Cullen, and McKay." — Richard Brody, The New Yorker, 23 Sept. 2025 Did you know? When English philosopher Thomas Hobbes penned his 1654 treatise Of Libertie and Necessitie he included the following: "all voluntary actions … are called also spontaneous, and said to be done by a man's own accord." Hobbes was writing in English, but he knew Latin perfectly well too, including the source of spontaneous; the word comes (via Late Latin spontāneus, meaning "voluntary, unconstrained") from the Latin sponte, meaning "of one's free will, voluntarily." In modern use, the word spontaneous is frequently heard in more mundane settings, where it often describes what is done or said without a lot of thought or planning.

Send us a textJoin us for a thoughtful yet entertaining interview with the greatly loved James Dreyfus; internationally acclaimed star of stage & screen, ex-husband of Julie Bindel (artistic license applied) and keeper of the legendary Hobbes.  James speaks candidly about the sharp contradiction between the reality of homosexuality and the parasitical nature of trans ideology, as well as the immense impact for both aspiring and established actors due to a captured arts sector.We do hope James has now fully recovered from his cold.If you enjoyed listening to this podcast and would like to hear more, go to womensrights.network/wrn-podcast to listen, download and subscribe to more of our episodes.

Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/editorialtpv El día de hoy hablaremos sobre el capítulo 5 del libro The Oxford Handbook of the Protestant Reformations, titulado “Political Obedience” por Glenn Burgess. Ver aquí: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-oxford-handbook-of-the-protestant-reformations-9780199646920?cc=gb&lang=en& .  ¿Obedecer o rebelarse? Este episodio desvela el nervio político de la Reforma: cómo el llamado evangélico a someterse a las “autoridades establecidas por Dios” (Mt 22:21; Ro 13) dio fuerza al Estado… y, paradójicamente, encendió teorías de resistencia. Pasamos de la “doble regimentación” luterana a la visión de Calvino sobre un gobierno civil que protege la verdadera adoración, mientras surgen límites al poder y el papel de los “magistrados inferiores” frente a tiranos. Veremos la polémica del Juramento de Lealtad y la defensa del soberano (Jacobo VI/I y, luego, Hobbes), junto a los hilos humanistas y escolares que alimentan el Vindiciae contra Tyrannos y el derecho constitucional a frenar abusos. ¿Revolución? Delas guerras campesinas a los radicales del siglo XVII, la Reforma abrió un imaginario donde obediencia, ley y esperanza apocalíptica chocaron y redefinieron la política occidental.

What do First Amendment rights have in common with Calvin and Hobbes? In Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton, the First Amendment is on trial, and according to Prof. Eric Goldman, it looks like the referees are playing Calvinball. On the latest episode of Tech Policy Grind, hosted by Justice Shannon, Prof. Goldman, a leading First Amendment scholar and law professor, breaks down the Supreme Court's fractured logic in this pivotal case. His take? Justice Thomas didn't follow precedent, he put it in a blender, cherry-picking fragments of past rulings to justify a result that was already decided. It's a bold critique of how the Court handles First Amendment rights in the digital age and a warning for the future of content regulation, free speech, and tech policy.

On Leviathan (1651), ch. 21, "On the Liberty of Subjects." Thomas Hobbes is known for defending absolute monarchy, so as you'd predict, he's not going to say we have a lot of "natural" liberties. We do always have the right to self-defense, but that doesn't mean that the sovereign can't with complete justice command you executed (even if you're innocent). Yet Hobbes wants to say that even under a repressive regime we all have lots of liberty, in the sense of no one physically stopping us from doing what we will. And he wants to dismiss as unintelligible any other sense of liberty tied to non-physical obstacles, so this entirely rules out any debate about free will.

My guest in this week's Book Club podcast is Luke Kemp. In his new book Goliath's Curse: The History and Future of Societal Collapse, Luke seeks lessons from prehistory to understand how societies grow and flourish, what kills them, and where we are now. He tells me what Hobbes got wrong, why ‘civilisation' isn't always the boon we have been taught to think it is, and why societal collapse might have been a good thing in the past but could be a very bad thing in the future.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

This week we cover the 1998 horror/thriller FALLEN!After witnessing the execution of serial killer Edgar Reese (Elias Koteas), whom he arrested, police detective John Hobbes (Denzel Washington), and his partner, Jonesy (John Goodman), are soon investigating another murderer whose mode of operation is eerily similar to Reese's. In the course of the investigation, Hobbes meets theology professor Gretta Milano (Embeth Davidtz), who introduces him to the world of the occult and the possibility that an evil spirit is behind the killings.HEAR our take on the film and on the critique of SISKEL AND EBERT.SUBSCRIBE TODAY!Visit thecultworthy.comVisit https://www.themoviewire.comVideo: https://www.youtube.com/@back2thebalcony

This lecture discusses key ideas from the modern philosopher Thomas Hobbes' work Leviathan It focuses specifically on on the second part of chapter 6, where Hobbes tells us that the basic passions are diversified into a number of other passions in four main manners. 1. called from the opinion men have of the likelihood of attaining what they desire 2. from the object loved or hated 3. from the consideration of many of them together 4. from the alteration or succession itself He also discusses how passions figure into what he calls "deliberation" and makes the claim that a person's "will" is simply the last passion in the succession that determines their action. H finishes by discusses different modes of language by which people signify what their passions are.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the modern philosopher Thomas Hobbes' work Leviathan It focuses specifically on chapter 6, in which Hobbes develops his basic philosophy of human and animal action, which stems from the senses and movements of the body, and then flows into endeavor of appetite and aversion. These then give rise to other affects such as love, contempt, and hatred, joy and grief, and to differing judgements about various forms of good and evil.

In this episode, Megan and Frank examine the Apocalypse. How should we define "the apocalypse"? How does religious apocalyptic thought apply in a secular context? What are the dangers of apocalyptic thinking? And why do we always seem to be in the end times? This episode pays special attention to the book Apocalypse Without God: Apocalyptic Thought, Ideal Politics, and the Limits of Utopian Hope by Ben Jones. Other thinkers discussed include: Machiavelli, Hobbes, Engels, and Rawls.Hosts' Websites:Megan J Fritts (google.com)Frank J.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the modern philosopher Thomas Hobbes' work Leviathan It focuses specifically on chapter 5, where he examines in detail what reason or reasoning is, and what science is. Hobbes views reasoning as something analogous to "reckoning" by adding and subtracting sums, not just of numbers, but of many other things as well, in particular names, conjunctions of them into "consequences", and ultimately entire arguments or syllogisms.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the modern philosopher Thomas Hobbes' work Leviathan It focuses specifically on chapters 3 and 4, where Hobbes discusses mental and verbal discourse, that is the train of thoughts in our minds and the verbal expressions of those thoughts. Hobbes also notes that when our train of thoughts is not motivated by some desire or passion, it tends to be looser and less regulated, but when there is some goal in mind, it is oriented towards and regulated by that goal.

A história da humanidade é marcada por momentos em que o medo — e não a esperança — se torna a força organizadora da sociedade. Um desses momentos foi vivido por Thomas Hobbes, pensador inglês do século XVII, ao observar as consequências devastadoras da guerra civil, da desintegração da autoridade e da violência sectária. Sua conclusão foi radical: para evitar o colapso, é necessário um poder absoluto, incontestável, que concentre autoridade e controle. Esse poder ele chamou de Leviatã. O Leviatã de Hobbes é o símbolo da autoridade centralizada. Ele representa a submissão do indivíduo em troca de segurança, estabilidade e ordem. Hobbes rejeita a liberdade sem freio, rejeita a multiplicidade de vozes e vê o Estado forte como salvador diante do caos. O que acontece, porém, quando essa visão política é transposta para dentro da igreja? Quando o medo do erro, da heresia, do desvio, leva a comunidade de fé a clamar por um Leviatã eclesiástico? Este episódio examina essas questões a partir da realidade da Igreja Adventista do Sétimo Dia, que vive entre a tensão da representatividade espiritual e a tentação da centralização autoritária.

"...Hatred of evil should constrain you to right, not fear. When her anger is kindled by injustice, goodness changes her form...."This week, I'm reading from the Moral Sayings of Publius Syrus, a Roman Slave, written during the 1st century BC. Reflection question:If you are experiencing a funding obstacle, how are you creating a positive message for your potential campaign donors?Reflection on quote:During times of uncertainty, there are two opposite errors in our campaign messaging that we can fall into.  We start blaming others and encourage rage giving to our capital campaign.  Or, we create desperate pleas for emergency giving with the implicit threat that project will fail with the donations.  This week, I will be reflecting on weaknesses with rage giving and, next week, with emergency giving.  So, let's reflect on rage giving. My favorite cartoon is Calvin and Hobbes.  On July 7, 1995, the cartoonist Bill Watterson published a particularly apt description of a trend in fundraising.  While I encourage you to view the cartoon and I have placed the link in the show notes, let me read the captions. Calvin states, “I'm writing a fund-raising letter.  The secret to getting donations is to depict everyone who disagrees with you as the enemy.  Then you explain how they're systemically working to destroy everything you hold dear.  It's a war of values! Rational discussion is hopeless!  Compromise is unthinkable! Our only help is well-funded antagonism to keep up the fight.  Hobbes replies. How cynically unconstructive.  Calvin responds, Enmity sells.”  Enmity in fundraising does sell.  The short-term gains by creating enemies and fear are measurable, but long-term is very unprofitable as some wisdom from the past shows us. We can get angry when a key grant or donation is cancelled mid-construction without any cause or notice.  We can get angry at the reason for the funding to be cancelled, especially when it is seemingly for an inhumane or nefarious purpose.  Yet, there can be some advantage and with patience that advantage will reveal its hidden riches.  The advantage could be greater community support to fill the gap.  So, as we message through a funding loss, it's important to shift any enmity in our messaging to positive outcome that our donor base can embrace.  Although rage giving result in short-term increases in donations, enmity excludes potential donors; whereas, goodness in our messaging can expand the donor base.  With this expanded donor base, we see long-term sustainability in ongoing giving after the capital campaign is over.This work has entered the public domain.What do you think?

In this episode of Chasing Leviathan, PJ and Dr. Alexander Rosenthal-Pubul discuss his book 'Crown under Law: Richard Hooker, John Locke, and the Ascent of Modern Constitutionalism.' Dr. Rosenthal-Pubul contrasts Hooker's views with those of Hobbes, delves into the historical context of Elizabethan England, and examines how Hooker's ideas influenced Locke's political philosophy. The discussion highlights the relevance of these thinkers in understanding modern governance and the foundations of political obligation.Make sure to check out Dr. Rosenthal-Pubul's book: Crown under Law: Richard Hooker, John Locke, and the Ascent of Modern Constitutionalism

Today my guest is Matthew McManus. Matt McManus is an incoming assistant professor of political theory at Spellman College. He is the author of The Political Right and Equality as well as The Political Theory of Liberal Socialism, which we are discussing today. McManus sees himself as engaging in a project of retrieval of a forgotten tradition of thought within the liberal tradition which advocates for socialist ends. This is a project with which I have some affinity as a liberal anarchist, but I have some big disagreements with how he sees the difference between liberal socialists and other more pro-market liberals as well as the institutional form he thinks liberal socialism should take: a form of statist social democracy. You will see us get into those disagreements at the end of the discussion.

Pricing Lives: The Political Art of Measurement (Oxford UP, 2023) discusses how human lives are equated with the material, and argues that pricing lives lies at the core of the political; in fact, as in Plato or Hobbes, and in the Weberian ethics of responsibility, measurement is considered to be one of its central features. Ariel Colonomos argues that this measure relies primarily on human lives and interests, and that the material equivalence to lives is twofold. The equivalence is a double equation, as we pay for lives and we pay with lives. This double equation constitutes the measurement upon which the political equilibrium of a society depends and is thus a key constitutive part of the political. The book adopts two approaches, both with an interdisciplinary perspective: one explanatory and the other normative. First, it explains the nexus between existential goods and material goods, drawing on a detailed analysis of several case studies from contemporary politics, both domestic and international. Second, it discusses normatively the material valuation of human lives and the human value of material goods. Value attribution and the question of the material equivalent to lives are of relevance not only for political theory and philosophy, but also for sociology, history, international relations, and legal studies.

The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. It's been around for 40 years now, though it only ran for 10. And boy, was it a good one. Plus our usual crazy talk, geek news, and tangents

This lecture discusses key ideas from the modern philosopher Thomas Hobbes' work Leviathan It focuses specifically on his discussion in chapters 15 and 26. In chapter 15, after having enumerated and explained the majority of the "laws of nature", which Hobbes notes correspond to various virtues, he claims that the science of the laws of nature, of virtue and vice, and of good and bad, is the "true and only moral philosophy". His position seems somewhat paradoxical, however, for reasons discussed in chapter 26 To support my ongoing work, go to my Patreon site - www.patreon.com/sadler If you'd like to make a direct contribution, you can do so here - www.paypal.me/ReasonIO - or at BuyMeACoffee - www.buymeacoffee.com/A4quYdWoM You can find over 3500 philosophy videos in my main YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/user/gbisadler Purchase Thomas Hobbes' Leviathan - amzn.to/3uhKmDE
