The Political Theory of Thomas Hobbes: The Sovereign and the State

Underrated video. Deserves millions more views.

You didn't even mention the army and the police.

neeeeeeeeeeeeed more of these PLEASE

I wish there was one of these for Locke. I've not seen a better video for getting from "state of nature" to "sovereign" concisely and with good production value and detail.

So who exactly is the sovereign?

Liberal democracies are oligarchies with a thin veneer of democracy to give the people a sense that they have a say over anything. In the real world, there are only oligarchies and dictatorships.

Excellent teachings.

Please make more like these!

Lol, the guy argued with a fable to "justify" the state's existence and people actually bought this stupid idea.

Hobbs mostuch is very atractive

The animation was so cool I forgot to understand the concept.

😂😂😂

Who made this video. . .Is there a series??
Please make it a series
Loved the flow and animations in the video, the director, animator knew and understood the subject❤️

There shouldn't be a written constitution. Just statutory law.

having to watch this for school :0

Beautifully illustrated. I came to know about Thomas Hobbes recently as a result of listening to a podcast and was intrigued by his philosophy. I always thought that humans were better off living with nature, that as a result of laws and rules we have lost our way of being human but listening to Hobbes I came to a realization that nature is concerned about survival. Survival could mean killing and others taking advantage of the weak. To live in a society rules and laws are essential. Looking to read his book, Leviathan. Thank you for this video.
