Podcast appearances and mentions of Thomas Hobbes

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.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the modern philosopher Thomas Hobbes' work Leviathan It focuses specifically on first part of chapter 8 where he discusses what he calls "intellectual virtues", meaning the abilities of the mind that people praise, which he frames in terms of "wit", and distinguishes into natural and artificial. Natural wit in turn is divided into fancy which focuses upon similarities and judgement which focuses on differences. Judgement is more important that fancy for wit.

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.

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.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the modern philosopher Thomas Hobbes' work Leviathan It focuses specifically on chapters 1 and 2 of the work, where he develops a clearly committed empiricist and materialist epistemology, which begins with sense perception which then gives rise to imagination and memory, which can also then lead to dreams, experience, and other more complex phenomena.

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.

this dude really made me analyze my natural human behaviour!i disagree with his radical goverment views and religous takes, but the objective views were refreshing.

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

"Bitcoin'in Siyasal Teolojisi: Kripto Egemenliği" başlıklı bu podcast, geleneksel egemenlik, yasa ve devlet iktidarı kavramlarına radikal bir bakış sunuyor. Carl Schmitt ve Thomas Hobbes gibi düşünürlerin egemenlik teorilerini ele alırken, Bitcoin'in "egemen istisnayı" nasıl ortadan kaldırdığını inceliyor.Yetkenin değil, gerçeğin yasa yaptığı bir dünyada, Bitcoin, kriptografinin gücüyle gerçeği meşruiyetin temeline yerleştirerek mevcut paradigmayı tersine çeviriyor. Artık fiziksel gücün ve otoriter kararların değil, matematiğin sarsılmaz yasalarının hüküm sürdüğü bir "yeni immanans düzlemi" yaratıyor.Bitcoin, kaybolmuş bir nomos'a (yasa, gelenek, toplumsal uyum) sahip bir dünyada felsefi bir inanç olarak ortaya çıkıyor. Devletlerin vaatlerini tutamadığı, paranın siyasi gücün bir aracı haline geldiği günümüzde, Bitcoin yeni bir toplumsal sözleşme ve dijital organizasyon formu sunuyor.Bu, yalnızca 21 milyonla sınırlı ve değişmez bir arza sahip bir makine değil; aynı zamanda "sayılarda güç" (Vires In Numeris) ilkesiyle kripto-anarşist bir eleştirinin ve insanlığın özgürleşme mücadelesinin bir ifadesi. Bitcoin'in neden bir "hakikat makinesi" ve çağımızın krizlerine teolojik bir yanıt olduğunu keşfedin. Bu, siyasalın yeniden tanımlandığı, borç ve esaret zincirlerinden kurtuluş için devrimci bir çağrı.Kaynak

Bitcoin, basit bir devrimden öte, mesihvari bir güç olarak ortaya çıkıyor. Hiçbir yasanın başaramadığını başararak, aracısız, gerçekten özgür bir zenginlik biçimi yarattı. Bu, devletin sonsuz şiddetinin bile ötesine geçen bir güçtür. İtibari paranın teolojik fethi ve devletin parasal sisteminin yok oluşuyla, Bitcoin, şiddet olmadan hukukun yerini alabilecek bir ortak refah biçimi olduğunu kanıtlıyor. Devlet ile para arasındaki ilişkiyi kökten koparıyor.Bitcoin, insanlığı köleleştiren yozlaşmış devlet ve itibari para düzenini yıkma gücüne sahip. Kriptografinin sunduğu sarsılmaz egemenlik sayesinde, yeni bir tür dijital ortak hukuk ve ekonomik örgütlenme mümkün hale geliyor. Bu, hiçbir ulus devlete bağlı olmayan, etik bir zenginlik ortaklığına dayalı küresel bir hareketi tetikledi.Satoshi'nin dehası, Bitcoin'i yalnızca koda olan mutlak bağlılığıyla, gerçek ve adil bir ekonomik sistem olarak inşa etti. İş kanıtı mekanizması, sistemin egemenliğini ve güvenliğini sürekli olarak garanti eder. Bu teknoloji, insanlığın tarihteki en büyük sorunlarından biri olan yasalara olan bağlılığın sürdürülemezliğini makine aracılığıyla aşıyor.Thomas Hobbes'un dediği gibi, bireylerin kendini koruma hakkı devlete devredilemez. Bitcoin, bu doğal hakkı koruyarak, paranın tam özgürlüğünü ve devletten ayrılmasını savunan yeni bir teolojik dava sunuyor. Satoshi Nakamoto, sistemini yarattıktan sonra geri çekilerek, yıkıcı bir güç sergiledi ve yasanın siber uzaya girişini engelledi. Bu eylemle, paranın ve devlet kapitalizminin sahte tanrısının iktidar makinesini bozdu ve yasasız bir dünyanın mesihvari olasılığını açtı.Bu podcast serisi, Bitcoin'in devletin ekonomik kontrolünü kırma potansiyelini ve insanlığı borç zincirlerinden ve devletin panoptik aygıtından kurtarma yolunu derinlemesine inceliyor. "Tanrı Yok, Efendi Yok" felsefesiyle, Bitcoin bize özgürlüğümüzü geri kazanma aracı ve yeni bir dünya düzeni ("novus ordo seclorum") inşa etme vaadi sunuyor. Kriptografi teolojisiyle egemenliğini kanıtlayan Bitcoin, yalnızca matematiksel kanıtlara dayanan bir Spinoza Tanrısı dışında hiçbir otoritenin boyunduruğunu reddediyor. Bu bir savaş, zenginliğin kimin kontrolünde olacağına dair bir mücadele, ve Bitcoin bu mücadelede bize nihai özgürlük silahını veriyor.Kaynak

His friend the great scholar Desiderius Erasmus referred to Thomas More as “a Man for all seasons.” But which season? Or which Thomas More? Is he an advocate of conscience? A heroic defender of the Catholic faith? A saintly martyr? A fanatical zealot unwilling to listen to cool reason? An amateur inquisitor who lit the night with burning Lutherans and their books, and enjoyed little more than coming home after work for a torture session? Does every era get the Thomas More that it deserves?Thomas More was indeed a man of many twists and turns, a Tudor Odysseus. A Londoner; the grandson of a baker and son of a lawyer; a page in a noble household; an exceptional prose stylist, in Latin or English; a lawyer of exceptional diligence and skill; a guild member; a religious controversialist, able to match Martin Luther in scatology; a subtle humanist of European-wide fame; a poet; a politician; a bureaucrat; a royal advisor; a confessor of the faith; a prisoner; and a martyr. He was all those things, and more besides. With me to talk about the life and times of Thomas More is Joanne Paul, Associate Professor in Early Modern History at the University of Sussex. Her research focuses on the intellectual and cultural history of the Renaissance and Early Modern periods, written widely on Thomas More, William Shakespeare, Machiavelli and Thomas Hobbes. Her most recent book is Thomas More: A Life, which is the subject of our conversation today.For Further Investigation The web page of Joanne PaulThomas More: A LifeThe last time we talked about the Tudors on Historically ThinkingAnd the book we talked about with its author, Lucy E.C.

rWotD Episode 2968: Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in Animalibus Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Thursday, 19 June 2025, is Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in Animalibus.Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in Animalibus (Latin, 'An Anatomical Exercise on the Motion of the Heart and Blood in Living Beings'), commonly called De Motu Cordis, is the best-known work of the physician William Harvey, which was first published in 1628 and established the circulation of blood throughout the body. It is a landmark in the history of physiology, with Harvey combining observations, experiments, measurements, and hypotheses in an extraordinary fashion to arrive at his doctrine. His work is a model of its kind and had an immediate and far-reaching influence on Harvey's contemporaries; Thomas Hobbes said that Harvey was the only modern author whose doctrines were taught in his lifetime.In De motu cordis, Harvey investigated the effect of ligatures on blood flow. The book also argued that blood was pumped around the body in a "double circulation", where after being returned to the heart, it is recirculated in a closed system to the lungs and back to the heart, where it is returned to the main circulation.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:29 UTC on Thursday, 19 June 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in Animalibus on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Ruth.

The fate of Jerusalem has been inextricably intertwined with that of Rome ever since they joined in unholy alliance to reject and crucify the Lord of glory (Acts 2:23; 1 Corinthians 2:8). That uneasy partnership was shattered with Jerusalem's destruction by Rome's legions in AD 70, foretold both by Daniel (9:26) and Jesus (Matthew 24:2). The Roman Empire must be revived, for one day its armies will belong to Daniel's "prince that shall come"—i.e., Antichrist––and will seek to destroy Jerusalem again.The woman in Revelation 17 can only be Rome/Vatican City. No other city built on seven hills wields such authority, exchanging ambassadors with nations. Nor does any other city claim to represent Christ, and thus no other could stand accused of spiritual fornication due to unholy alliances with earth's rulers. Neither can any other city rival the blood of both Jews and Christians which pagan Rome and later the Vatican have shed. Thomas Hobbes perceptively said, "The Papacy is...the ghost of the deceased Roman Empire, sitting crowned upon the grave thereof."

Send us a textThe political upheavals of 17th century England demanded new answers for old political questions: what is the purpose of government, how is power legitimated, and who may wield it?  Philosophers Thomas Hobbes and John Locke reasoned from the same premises, but arrived at rather different conclusions.  Balancing those conclusions is the primary task of liberal democracies to this day.Texts:Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes: https://gutenberg.org/files/3207/3207-h/3207-h.htm"Second Treatise on Government" by John Locke: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/7370/7370-h/7370-h.htmLeviathan frontispiece: https://www.worldhistory.org/image/18182/leviathan-frontispiece/Support the showPlease like, subscribe, and rate the podcast on Apple, Spotify, YouTube Music, or wherever you listen.

What exactly is the basis for democracy? Arguably Iiberalism, the belief that the government serves the people, is the stone on which modern democracy was founded. That notion is so ingrained in the US that we often forget that America could be governed any other way. But political philosopher John Gray believes that liberalism has been waning for a long, long time. He joins Sean to discuss the great liberal thinker Thomas Hobbes and America's decades-long transition away from liberalism.

Can one person change the world?That is the question at the end of the tractate Sanhedrin. The word "Sanhedrin" means the supreme judicial, civic, legal, religious authority in ancient Israel. The Talmudic tractate Sanhedrin is about justice-the human beings, institutions, procedures and protocols, evidentiary rules, safeguards, that enable human beings to create and sustain a just society.Because justice in this world is so elusive, Sanhedrin's final chapter deals with other-worldly matters of the world to come (olam ha'ba) and the resurrection of the dead (techiyat hameitim). If we do not get justice in this world, perhaps we might get it in the next. Impossible to prove or disprove concepts like the world to come and resurrection of the dead might be a consolation for those living in a current reality that is, as Thomas Hobbes put it, "nasty, brutish and short."Justice is so urgent. Justice is so hard. Sometimes we fail. Which leads to the last question of this tractate: Can one person change the world? Not can one person change his or her own world? Rather, can one person change the world?Sanhedrin's answer to its own question is complex. It seems to answer that question yes. But the person it talks about right before the boffo end is none other than the prophet Elijah, who famously makes his appearance at the end of our seders. Everything about Elijah is ambiguous, which the tractate itself will bring out and highlight.On the eve of Passover, we will consider Sanhedrin's question of the power of an individual to change the world by examining the complicated figure of Elijah. The subtext question in our conversation: Do you believe you can, or that you cannot, change the world?

Thomas Hobbes has been described as 'one of the true founders of modernity in Western culture'. His most famous work Leviathan was inspired by the issues raised by the Revolution, published in 1651 as he came home - and used to support the Protectorate. Meanwhile in Oxford, Wilkins, Boyle, Hooke, Petty, Ward and others were rewriting the rules of Natural Philosophy Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This episode is a continuation of the Makers of the Modern World series. In this program, I discuss the influential political philosopher Thomas Hobbes and his view of the commonwealth and the magistrate. 

In this episode we discuss the philosophy involved in the True Crime case of Luigi Mangione and United Healthcare CEO, Brian Thompson. A number of the documentaries regarding this case raise interesting philosophical questions without engaging in a philosophical discussion of the questions. 20/20 and TMZ, for example, ask questions regarding justice, violence, and social sentiment regarding corporations without attempting to provide a coherent philosophical account of the Mangione case. In this episode, we examine the Mangione case through arguably the most famous philosophical account of natural justice, put forth by Thomas Hobbes in his work Leviathan. Hobbes' discussion of natural justice shines an interesting and provocative light on the case of Luigi Mangione. . Please post your questions or comments on The Philosophemes YouTube Channel.

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.

Of the life and death of the Leviathan state of Thomas Hobbes, and much else besides, as always with Carl Schmitt, including how the end of that state led to the administrative/managerial state and the triumph of destructive, soulless technique.

In this episode, Tanner answers a listener question from Wyatt Bennett: “What does Stoicism say about human nature? Are humans naturally selfish?” Exploring this through the Stoic concept of Oikeiôsis and the Circles of Concern, Tanner explains how our understanding of responsibilities expands as we mature. Starting from self-concern in infancy, we grow to care for family, friends, community, humanity, and even the planet. Tanner challenges Thomas Hobbes' pessimistic view of human nature, offering a Stoic perspective that emphasizes the dynamic and evolving nature of human rationality and moral growth. TAKEAWAYS Stoicism sees human nature as dynamic, with our rational and moral concerns expanding over time. Self-concern in early life is natural but not permanent; growth involves widening our circles of responsibility. Nature's alignment isn't always pleasurable for individuals but serves a greater universal purpose.

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.

Welcome to another Huge Niblet episode. And yes, it's a bit huge. (You saw the time stamp!) In the A segment, we discuss Hugh Nibley's 1969 diatribe titled Science Fiction and the Gospel as well as the article that likely triggered his rage induced lecture. Then we move into our penultimate Approaching Zion discussion. Following that, we have some excellent news about Gen Z women leaving religion.
