Living Leviathan explores how the ideas of Hobbes translate into modern life in the context of national and global security policies and public debates. Adi Milstein and Alexandra Solovyev interview educators and young professionals in the fields of political science and philosophy, as well as Columbia undergraduates around the New York City area. Their conversations question Hobbes’ vision on man’s “state of nature”, as well as the recurrent challenge of fear and the desire for long-term peace and security.
