This work by Hobbes constitutes the first systematic laboratory of his philosophy. The purpose is clear: to identify a rational foundation through which to know nature as well as politics. Galileo provides the backdrop to the whole theoretical scene: the materialistic-mechanistic dimension of the new natural science permeates the Hobbesian universe in its entirety, breaking with Aristotle and Scholasticism and arriving at an organic framework of relations between natural and moral philosophy, science and politics, anthropology and psychology that will be decisive to pave the way for modern thought.
