    12. The Sovereign State: Hobbes' Leviathan

    Introduction to Political Philosophy (PLSC 114)This is an introduction to the political views of Thomas Hobbes, which are often deemed paradoxical. On the one hand, Hobbes is a stern defender of political absolutism. The Hobbesian doctrine of sovereignty dictates complete monopoly of power within a given territory and over all institutions of civilian or ecclesiastical authority. On the other hand, Hobbes insists on the fundamental equality of human beings. He maintains that the state is a contract between individuals, that the sovereign owes his authority to the will of those he governs and is obliged to protect the interests of the governed by assuring civil peace and security. These ideas have been interpreted by some as indicative of liberal opposition to absolutism.00:00 - Chapter 1. Introduction: Thomas Hobbes07:28 - Chapter 2. Who Was Hobbes?14:12 - Chapter 3.

    8. The Mixed Regime and the Rule of Law: Aristotle's Politics, IV

    Introduction to Political Philosophy (PLSC 114)The lecture discusses Aristotle's comparative politics with a special emphasis on the idea of the regime, as expressed in books III through VI in Politics. A regime, in the context of this major work, refers to both the formal enumeration of rights and duties within a community as well as to the distinctive customs, manners, moral dispositions and sentiments of that community. Aristotle asserts that it is precisely the regime that gives a people and a city their identity.00:00 - Chapter 1.
