In die tweede episode van hierdie insigryke reeks neem Carel Boshoff die voortou met ’n diepte-ontleding van die konsep van die nasiestaat en die filosofiese wortels van moderniteit. Bouend op die gesprek in die vorige episode oor die ANC se visie van nasiebou en Jan Smuts se Suid-Afrikanisme, verskuif hierdie episode die fokus na Thomas Hobbes en sy invloedryke werk, Leviathan (1551).
Boshoff verduidelik hoekom Hobbes se denke steeds relevant is in die moderne konteks en hoe sy idees die grondslag gelê het vir die modernistiese siening van die nasiestaat. Hy verduidelik hoe Leviathan die konsep van gesentraliseerde mag en die "sosiale kontrak" as voorwaardes vir orde en samewerking gevestig het, en hoe hierdie denke, selfs eeue later, manifesteer in die strukture van nasies soos Suid-Afrika.
Carel Boshoff ontleed nie net die filosofiese raamwerk van Hobbes nie, maar trek ook die drade deur na die praktyke van nasiebou in die 20ste en 21ste eeu. Met duidelike verwysings na die ANC se visie van nasionale eenheid en mag, plaas hy Hobbes se invloed binne die Suid-Afrikaanse konteks en bring nuwe insigte na vore oor die uitdagings van 'n multi-etniese nasiestaat.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
