This lecture discusses key ideas from the modern philosopher Thomas Hobbes' work Leviathan

It focuses specifically on his discussion in chapter 15 of the work, during which he sets out the other 12 laws of nature going beyond the first two. These moral norms outline how a rational human being who desires peace should behave within a commonwealth, and they correlate to virtues to be cultivated and vices to be avoided, according to Hobbes
