Hobbes Today: from The Lord of the Flies to The Hunger Games
Thomas Hobbes is still greatly influential in modern culture, as he was back in the 17th Century.
Dr. Vittorio Bufacchi will be explaining how Thomas Hobbes’s political thinking and philosphy, as in Leviathan (1651), is very much relevant today and an inspiration behind twenty first century works such as the “Hunger Games”.
