| Werner Hamacher continues his reading of Thomas Hobbes's major political-philosophical work, Leviathan. Professor Hamacher moves into Chapters XVI and XVII, guided by the question, How is a community constituted apart from each individual's renunciation of their rights and liberties? Hamacher ultimately provides an insightful reading of Hobbes's Leviathan as an account of what happens every time we speak. This is the third lecture of Professor Hamacher's 2011 course, Justice in Language. European Graduate School EGS |
