Thank you for this lecture. I have a few questions, though. What would Hobbes say of a warlord who came to power without the consent of the governed? Or if a sovereign loses the consent of the governed? What should be done in those situations?
Yes I think you raise a good point when it comes to his conception of social contract and especially the idea that all people within the Commonwealth are somehow authors of everything done by the Sovereign. The cynical charge mostly lies in his description of man in the state of nature: solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short. Like Machiavelli, Hobbes attempts to simply describe the reality or facts of the matter, whether we like it or not. Also like Machiavelli, morality has little significance in the discussion.
Please help those who want to learn by putting all your lectures on you tube. I love to learn as a senior but unfortunately my university of Washington, close to my house has become intoxicated with irrational “wokeness” and I stopped auditing courses there.

It's interesting to me people would call him a cynic because this all sounds very idealistic to me
