This lecture discusses key ideas from the modern philosopher Thomas Hobbes' work Leviathan

It focuses specifically on on the second part of chapter 6, where Hobbes tells us that the basic passions are diversified into a number of other passions in four main manners.
1. called from the opinion men have of the likelihood of attaining what they desire
2. from the object loved or hated
3. from the consideration of many of them together
4. from the alteration or succession itself

He also discusses how passions figure into what he calls "deliberation" and makes the claim that a person's "will" is simply the last passion in the succession that determines their action.  H finishes by discusses different modes of language by which people signify what their passions are.
