Thomas Hobbes- The Natural and the Artifacted Good

This book intends to show the intimate relationship among Hobbes' theory of language, understanding of scientific method and political philosophy. His claim to be the founder of a new science of politics is linked to his understanding of Euclid and Galileo and a general response to the problem of method, which so engaged the seventeenth century. Also attention is paid to his similarity and difference from the classical political thought of Plato and Aristotle.
