  • 032 - XXXI - Of the Kingdom of God by Nature

    032 - XXXI - Of the Kingdom of God by Nature
    Feb 9 2026
    In Leviathan, published in 1651, Thomas Hobbes delves into the intricate structure of society, using the biblical Leviathan as a powerful metaphor. His work, influenced by the tumult of the English Civil War, presents a compelling argument for a social contract and the necessity of a strong sovereign to maintain order. Hobbes famously posits that without such governance, humanity is condemned to a chaotic state of nature, exemplified by his assertion of Bellum omnium contra omnes—the war of all against all. He contends that rebellion against the social contract is unjustified, yet intriguingly acknowledges the potential for the states dissolution if it fails to ensure the peace and defense of its citizens. When that happens, individuals inevitably return to their natural state until a new contract is forged. This thought-provoking exploration invites listeners to reflect on the balance between authority and individual rights. Summary from Wikipedia.
