The fossilized skull and jaw of a giant, 12--13 million-year-old sperm whale have been discovered off the coast of Peru. The creature, whose discovery is reported in this week's Nature, belongs to a previously unknown genus of sperm whale and has been named in honour of Herman Melville, the author of Moby Dick. The fossil was found in ocean layers where the giant shark has also been recorded and the authors suggest that these two giant, raptorial predators could have lived in the same area, feeding on large, marine vertebrates, such as baleen whales.

Introduction to Political Philosophy (PLSC 114) This is an introduction to the political views of Thomas Hobbes, which are often deemed paradoxical. On the one hand, Hobbes is a stern defender of political absolutism. The Hobbesian doctrine of sovereignty dictates complete monopoly of power within a given territory and over all institutions of civilian or ecclesiastical authority. On the other hand, Hobbes insists on the fundamental equality of human beings. He maintains that the state is a contract between individuals, that the sovereign owes his authority to the will of those he governs and is obliged to protect the interests of the governed by assuring civil peace and security. These ideas have been interpreted by some as indicative of liberal opposition to absolutism. 00:00 - Chapter 1. Introduction: Thomas Hobbes 07:28 - Chapter 2. Who Was Hobbes? 14:12 - Chapter 3.

Song: Leviathan Band: Alestorm EP: Leviathan Genre: Pirate Metal Lyrics: Legend speaks of a beast Three hundred miles from it's tip to it's tail None have seen it, yet all know it's name Like the ark of the covenant, or the holy grail We set out on a quest In search of the lair, where the creature doth dwell On a ransom to bring back it's head Our journey would take us to the depths of hell His eyes shine like the rays of morning His mouth is as a burning flame Leviathan Cresting the waves Leading us all to the grave Leviathan Slaying all foes Who dare to oppose Tearing bodies limb from limb Eviscerating on a whim The skies turned to black The oceans fell dead, no winds dared to blow Then out the darkness with a thunderous roar Leviathan rose up from the depths below Cannons fired, and swords tasted blood As the beast turned to strike with rage in it's eyes From it's mouth came a great ball of flame It was then we all knew, that the end was nigh His eyes shine like the rays of morning His mouth is as a burning flame Leviathan Cresting the waves Leading us all to the grave Leviathan Slaying all foes Who dare to oppose Tearing bodies limb from limb Eviscerating on a whim His eyes shine like the rays of morning His mouth is as a burning flame His nostrils seethe with fumes of brimstone He is the beast that can't be tamed Leviathan Cresting the waves Leading us all to the grave Leviathan Slaying all foes Who dare to oppose Tearing bodies limb from limb Eviscerating on a whim Теги:alestormleviathansquireoffiresquireoffire
Introduction to Political Philosophy (PLSC 114) Hobbes' most famous metaphor, that of "the state of nature," is explained. It can be understood as the condition of human life in the absence of authority or anyone to impose rules, laws, and order. The concept of the individual is also discussed on Hobbesian terms, according to which the fundamental characteristics of the human beings are the capacity to exercise will and the ability to choose. Hobbes, as a moralist, concludes that the laws of nature, or "precepts of reason," forbid us from doing anything destructive in life. 00:00 - Chapter 1. Hobbes on Individuality 09:49 - Chapter 2.
