This is a lecture by Robert Crawford for Arts One at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver (Canada). In this lecture Crawford gives some of the background information useful to understanding the texts (why was Hobbes so upset about Aristotle and "the schools"? Why was he so worried about witchcraft and ghosts?). He also discusses Hobbes views on God and religion as well as his political views.
