Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan | The State of Nature and Conflict | Philosophy Core Concepts

This is a video in my new Core Concepts series -- designed to provide students and lifelong learners a brief discussion focused on one main concept from a classic philosophical text and thinker.

This Core Concept video focuses on Thomas Hobbes masterwork, Leviathan, and specifically on his depiction in chapter 13 of the "state of nature" for human beings, which is a state of war of all against all. He also discusses the three main causes of human conflict: competition, diffidence or anticipation, and vanity.

My videos are used by students, lifelong learners, other professors, and professionals to learn more about topics, texts, and thinkers in philosophy, religious studies, literature, social-political theory, critical thinking, and communications. These include college and university classes, British A-levels preparation, and Indian civil service (IAS) examination preparation

Thomas Hobbes is the first to point out this "Dark Forest" concept?
