Listen "Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan - Sense and Imagination - Sadler's Lectures"
Episode Synopsis
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.
