| Video Discription | John Gray on ‘The New Leviathans – Thoughts after Liberalism’ | Professor John Gray | Tuesday 19th March 2024, Queen Square, Bath. In The New Leviathans, John Gray allows us to understand the world of the 2020s with all its contradictions, moral horrors and disappointments through a new reading of Hobbes’ classic work. The collapse of the Soviet Union ushered in an era of near-apocalyptic triumphalism in the West: a genuine belief that a rational, liberal, well-managed future now awaited humankind and that tyranny, nationalism and unreason lay in the past. Since then, so many terrible events have occurred and so many poisonous ideas flourished, and yet still our liberal certainties treat them as aberrations which will somehow dissolve away. Hobbes would not be so confident. Thank you for watching! Your Support Matters to Us The BRLSI is a charity, and this content is made possible by generous donations like yours.
