A whole episode of Political Theory 101 devoted to Thomas Hobbes' Behemoth. We discuss Hobbes' historical narrative and his theory of education, both of which receive little attention in Leviathan.

Tony Lewis makes drawings using a range of materials and methods that are centered around mark-making and language. Tony talks about athletics, psychology, and art history as frameworks for his world view, drawing as a type of behavior, Calvin & Hobbes comics as a muse, how drawing exists outside of the “art world”, expanding his practice into site-specific installations, not being able to hide or cheat in drawing, cocktail bars as portraits of a place, drawing as problem solving. and kindness and self-awareness as 50% of a career.View Tony's work HERESupport Deep Color HERE

Start des 9. Kapitels über das Verhältnis von Politik und Recht. Die Theorie sozialer Systeme geht davon aus, dass Politik und Recht zwei autopoietische, operativ geschlossene Funktionssysteme sind. Historisch scheinen Rechtsetzung und Rechtsprechung eher eine Einheit zu bilden. Diese Auffassung scheint auch der Begriff «Rechtsstaat» zu bestätigen. Gehen wir zunächst auf die systemtheoretische Einordnung ein. Zu Beginn weist Luhmann darauf hin, dass die Theorie sozialer Systeme eine Reflexionstheorie ist. Das bedeutet, sie verlangt eine Beobachtung zweiter Ordnung. Der Forschungsgegenstand «Recht» darf nicht einfach als «gegeben» hingenommen werden. Stattdessen muss ein Beobachter (wir) erstmal beobachten: Welche Bedingungen der Möglichkeit müssen vorliegen, damit es diesen Forschungsgegenstand überhaupt geben kann? Hier stoßen wir auf die System-Umwelt-Differenz: Rechtliche Kommunikation unterscheidet sich selbst von allen anderen Kommunikationen, zum Beispiel von politischen. Das ist beobachtbar und lässt sich nachvollziehen, auch historisch. Anhand der Unterscheidung von rechtlicher/nicht rechtlicher Kommunikation unterscheidet das Rechtssystem sich selbst von der Umwelt und konstituiert sich dadurch erst. Es gäbe kein «Rechtssystem», wenn sich rechtliche Kommunikation nicht selbst von ihrer Umwelt unterscheiden würde. Und das bereits weist darauf hin: Politik und Recht sind operativ geschlossene Systeme. Beide reproduzieren alle Elemente (= Kommunikationen), aus denen sie bestehen, selbst. Dies beschreibt der Begriff der Autopoiesis. Immer, wenn es um Gesetzgebung geht, lässt sich die Kommunikation der Politik zuordnen. Und immer, wenn es um die Unterscheidung von Recht/Unrecht geht und um die Zuordnung, ob der Fall gleich/ungleich ist, lässt sich die Kommunikation dem darauf spezialisierten Rechtssystem zuzuordnen. Beide Kommunikationssysteme erfüllen zudem unterschiedliche Funktionen für die Gesellschaft: Die Funktion der Politik ist, mit soziologischem Abstand betrachtet, das Bereithalten von Kapazität für kollektiv bindende Entscheidungen. Gesetze gelten für alle. Macht wird in einer generalisierten Form ausgeübt. Die soziale Funktion des Rechts ist dagegen die kontrafaktische Stabilisierung von normativen Verhaltenserwartungen. Rechtsprechung mag die Erwartung enttäuschen oder erfüllen, in jedem Fall macht sie besser einschätzbar, was in absehbarer Zeit zu erwarten ist. Macht wird ebenfalls ausgeübt, jedoch bezogen auf den Einzelfall. Auch die Durchsetzungsmodi unterscheiden sich. Die für alle geltende Gesetzgebung wird durch Regierung, Verwaltung und Justizorgane durchgesetzt. Rechtsprechung betrifft nur den Einzelfall. Das Urteil wird direkt durchgesetzt, zum Beispiel durch Freispruch. Historisch ergibt sich jedoch ein anderes Bild. In Europa lag eine evolutionäre Besonderheit vor. Das römische Zivilrecht hatte sich früh ausdifferenziert und Fragen des Zusammenlebens geprägt. Auf seiner Grundlage wurde das Naturrecht formuliert. Bis ins Mittelalter schien eine Einheit von Politik und Recht zunächst ausgeschlossen zu sein. Das spiegelt auch der Machtkampf Kirche vs. Kaisertum wider. Ab dem 16. Jh. begann sich diese Auffassung zu ändern. Obwohl sie keine Gewaltenteilung im Sinn hatten, auf der sich im 18. Jh. der «Rechtsstaat» begründete, legten Theoretiker wie Suárez, Hobbes und Pufendorf die Grundlagen dafür. Alle drei entwickelten Mechanismen zur Machtkontrolle. Bei Suárez († 1617) findet sich die Idee, dass staatliche Macht rechtlich gebunden sein muss und unter dem Recht stehe. Hobbes entwickelte einen Gesellschaftsvertrag («Leviathan», 1651), der erstmals nicht vom Herrscher, sondern vom «Individuum» ausgeht. Zudem unterschied er zwischen «Staat» und «Herrscher» in Persona, was für die spätere Verrechtlichung staatlicher Macht wichtig war. Pufendorf († 1694) entwickelte das Konzept des rechtlich gebundenen Staates weiter. Vollständiger Text auf Luhmaniac.de

Introdução - Módulo 02 No coração do cristianismo, e particularmente no ethos adventista, está a convicção de que a ordem não é uma imposição administrativa, mas um dom espiritual e profético. O Módulo 2 da série A Ordem e a Representação propõe uma leitura profunda e orgânica das estruturas de liderança da IASD a partir das lentes da filosofia política, da tradição patrística, da teologia da história e das críticas modernas à autoridade. Mais do que apenas discutir modelos de governo, este módulo busca iluminar o sentido teológico, simbólico e escatológico da ordem na vida comunitária e representativa da Igreja.

This is Part 2 in a series noting that 2025 is the 40th Anniversary of Harvard University Press' 1985 publication of Richard A. Epstein's "Takings: Private Property and the Power of Eminent Domain." We our celebration of this anniversary with a fair use and transformative reading of chapter 2, still in what Richard calls "Philosophical Preliminaries." He titles chapter 2 "Hobbseian Man, Lockean World" because he's taking a look at political philosophy and the American constitutional order, how these things interact. Every college student should read this book. It's a superb introduction to the political philosophy of the American regime. Praise the Lord. We'd like to thank Harvard University Press for making this material available and Richard Epstein for writing it. Make sure you buy the book and follow along. It's very important for you to have your own copy on your own bookshelf, and to begin to master this material. Support your local book dealer. See if they have a copy of it, or if they'd mind keeping an eye out for you. I always encourage buying physical books, objects you can have, hold, cherish, learn from, display on your bookshelf as a topic of conversation, things you can pass on to the next generation with your notes in them, things that do not depend upon electricity. Toward that end: Go to Harvard University Press for more selections available for purchase. Please support the publisher and your local booksellers.

Episode SummaryErin and Rachel travel 700 years into the future to discuss WALL-E (2008), Pixar's robot romance with an unintentionally anti-capitalist message. Fatphobia and misogyny make this dystopian tale unwatchable despite its endearing protagonist, striking animation, and moments of nostalgia. Episode BibliographyThe 81st Academy Awards | 2009.

Stefan Blankertz gehört zu den Begründern der libertären Zeitschrift „Eigentümlich frei“. In einem launigen Streifzug durch die Welt der Philosophie stellt er sein neues Buch vor: „Gegen den Strich gelesen. 12 überraschend freiheitliche Denker“. Er erklärt, welche Ursprünge das libertäre Denken hat und wie es sich zum Etatismus, zur Linken und zum Anarchismus verhält. Blankertz spricht über Missverständnisse und Doppeldeutigkeiten in der Studentenbewegung, über das spektakuläre „Busenattentat“ auf Adorno und lässt sich dabei immer wieder den Spaß anmerken, den er daran findet, libertäre Gedanken an Stellen zu entdecken, wo man sie nicht erwartet: bei Hobbes, bei Rousseau und bei Marcuse. Dabei wird zugleich deutlich, dass deren Vorstellungen überraschend aktuell sind.

Send us a textIn life, we have full circle moments when things you once did are things you find yourself doing again - but as a parent. I had that this week, from t-ball with my son to reading them Calvin & Hobbes together, we had many full circle moments. As I tucked my kids in, my son said, "Dad, I'm just like you." And he will be - he watches my every move as all our children do. They will immitate the good and the bad. What kinds of things do our actions and habits teach them? And at the end of the day, do we remember the goal is not to make them like us - but to make them like Jesus? #SetYourMindAbovePodcast

Tunde Adebimpe made a name for himself fronting the art rock band TV on the Radio. Now, he's released his first solo album, “Thee Black Boltz.” Tunde joins Tom Power to talk about making music without his long-time band, the spirit of rebellion that runs through his new record, and how an album that's born out of some pretty tough stuff ended up sounding so dancey. Plus, he shares a pretty deep philosophical take on what punk rock has in common with Calvin and Hobbes.

Leave it to the babies to stop by class to teach us the importance of staying woke. Hobbes Chukumba is a STEAM-loving scholar who helped organize the national trans prom when he was sixteen. Hobbes and his father, Stephen, provide a master class on the importance of sacrificing to do our part so that the opposition does not win and the importance of appreciating one another's humanity. They want us to remember that when we come together, there's nothing we can't do and provide tangible strategies to get closer to freedom and center joy in the process.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/teach-the-babies-w-dr-david-j-johns--6173854/support.

Alexander Ovechkin just broke Wayne Gretzky's record for the most goals scored in an NHL career. It's an impressive achievement of both talent and longevity. Yet when you try to give Ovechkin kudos, there's always at least one person who says something like, "Yeah, but...he's still not Gretzky." Why do we need to put someone down? Why can't we just celebrate both players? And here's the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip we reference. What a gem!

In this solo episode, I delve into the complex question of human nature, exploring whether it is inherently good or evil. I discuss various philosophical perspectives, including those of Freud, Rogers, Hobbes, and Rousseau, highlighting the capacity for both good and evil within all individuals. Ultimately, I advocate for a more optimistic view of human nature, suggesting that embracing our capacity for good can lead to positive change in the world. - Timestamps: 00:00 Exploring Human Nature: Good or Evil? 02:56 Philosophical Perspectives on Human Nature 05:51 The Complexity of Virtue and Morality 09:07 The Role of Intention in Good Deeds 12:01 The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy of Human Nature - See discounts for all the products I use and recommend: https://everybodyspod.com/deals/ - Shop For Everybody  Use code SFE10 for 10% OFF

In this episode, the boys talk about C.B. Macpherson's insightful text The Political Theory of Possessive Individualism. Macpherson holds that liberal political theory from Hobbes to Locke is correct in its premises, since like it or not we basically all are defined by our properties, living in a society almost exclusively defined by market relations—but that those same market relations engender class antagonisms that progressively undermine the possibility of durable social cohesion. He wants to save liberal theory and liberal democracies from themselves, but is there a viable way forward? You know what we think: it's socialism or barbarism, baby! Too bad it's looking like barbarism!!leftofphilosophy.comReferences:C.B.

Si la derecha se lleva mal, la medalla de oro del cainismo se la lleva la izquierda o, por mejor precisar, la izquierda de la izquierda: si vemos una foto de Podemos hace diez años y una de hoy, apreciaremos que los eslóganes utopistas dieron paso a una batalla de todos contra todos que hubiese pasmado al mismo Hobbes.

Solomon has been writing books since she was six years old. At the age of eleven she wrote and hand-stitched the binding to her own story: a riff of Calvin and Hobbes with a female protagonist. She graduated from Portland State University in 2012 with a B.S. in Liberal Studies and a Minor in Writing.Her work has appeared on the cover of Gotham Writers Class Schedule and has been featured on The Spinning Pen, and Wow! Women on Writing. Solomon's writing takes cues from her childhood, where the vast setting of Alaska seemed just as much a character in her life story as she did. She favors broken or imperfect characters and utilizes a lyrical, repetitive style within her prose. Her work is heavily influenced by the female authors she grew up loving: Margaret Atwood, Lois Lowry, and Alice Hoffman.Winner of Gotham Writers #storieseverywhere for July 2016.Story as Cover Art for Gotham Writers Winter Class Schedule 2016-2017Contributor on Ad Hoc Fiction.Short Story Winner on The Spinning Pen (December 2016).Dual POV Prompt Flash Fiction Contributor on The Spinning Pen (March 2017).Guest Writer on The Spinning Pen (February 2017 & March 2017).Runner Up for Wow!

The boys drink and review Crowhill's Extra Special Bitter, then discuss the philosophy of anarchism and how it's different than anarchy. Hobbes (see episode 487) believed that the life of man in the state of nature is so horrible that no matter how bad the sovereign is, he's better off under the sovereign than not. Anarchists take the opposite view -- that men can and do cooperate, and we don't need rulers to oppose their coercive authority on us. P&C discuss the good aspects of anarchism, then point out some of its weaknesses.

Only a few weeks into his second term, Donald Trump and his billionaire buddies are doing their best to dismantle the federal government's regulatory agencies. So today, we're revisiting a compelling conversation we had in 2020 with journalist and podcast host Michael Hobbes about a piece he wrote in HuffPost titled "The Golden Age of White-Collar Crime." Initially reported against the backdrop of Trump's first presidency and its alarming erosion of regulatory oversight, Hobbes breaks down the staggering prevalence of elite deviance—where the wealthy evade accountability for crimes that cause immense social harm—and also offers insight into why white-collar crime often goes unchecked. It's a timely reminder of the consequences of allowing the ultra-wealthy to operate above the law. This episode originally aired on March 10, 2020. Michael Hobbes is a journalist, podcaster, and former senior reporter for HuffPost, known for his in-depth investigations into social issues, economics, and media narratives. He is the co-host of If Books Could Kill and Maintenance Phase, and previously co-hosted You're Wrong About, where he debunked cultural myths and misconceptions. Hobbes has also contributed to outlets like The New Republic, Pacific Standard and Slate covering topics ranging from housing policy to moral panics.

The boys drink and review a pilsner, then discuss the English philosopher, Thomas Hobbes.Hobbes is best known for his characterization of life in the state of nature as "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short."Pigweed sets the historical context with some dates and the very consequential events that occurred during Hobbes' life -- including the English civil war, the execution of Charles I, and the restoration.Hobbes wanted to know who gets to rule, under what circumstances, and within what limits. He starts by reflecting on human nature, which he says is a horrific state of war where people live in a constant state of fear. People can make agreements with their neighbors, but Hobbes says there's a need for a sovereign who makes sure people keep their agreements.In Hobbes's mind, the state of nature is so awful that any sovereign, no matter how awful, no matter how tyrannical, is better.

Subscriber-only episodeThis is the first of two discussions where I discuss Pierre Manent's writings on Leo Strauss. Here I discuss Manent's analysis of the relationship between Nietzsche and Strauss, which unfolds into a broad introduction to the thought of Leo Strauss beginning with Rousseau and going back though Machiavelli and Hobbes into the Medieval Islamic and Jewish thinkers before returning to a critique of Hegel and entering into a discussion of Nietzsche.

Subscriber-only episodeThe rise of everything we understand as “Modernity” required a radically anti-Orthodox re-interpretation of Christian theology. All of the primary political founders of Modernity included these anti-Orthodox readings of the Bible. Here I discuss the issue broadly before focusing upon Hobbes in particular. I also discuss the Orthodox alternative originating in Augustine's text On Christian Doctrine.

Subscriber-only episodeContinuing my previous discussion about the radically anti-Orthodox Biblical interpretation provided by Hobbes, here I discuss Spinoza. In particular, I discuss the way in which Spinoza founded what we now refer to today as the so-called “higher Biblical criticism” in order for him to make his argument that tolerant or liberal democracy is the best form of government.

English philosopher Thomas Hobbes believed that life would be "nasty, brutish and short" without a strong government. IDEAS explores how a new take on Hobbes offers a surprising perspective on the recent American election.

Was Calvin And Hobbes the greatest comic strip ever? Or maybe a great work of art of the 20th Century? Why did Bill Watterson disappear? Was Calvin "good" (morally)? Was Hobbes "real"? Why were there never any toys? Would we ever really want Calvin and Hobbes to come back?With special guest @kibblesmith!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
