Two principal issues interact and overlap in this penetrating
analysis: the relationship between Hobbes' natural philosophy and
his civil philosophy, and the relationship between Hobbes' thought
and the Aristotelian world view that constituted the philosophical
orthodoxy he rejected. On the first point Thomas A. Spragens Jr.
argues that Hobbes' political ideas were in fact significantly
influenced by his cosmological perceptions, although they were not,
and could not have been, completely derived from that source. On
the second, the author demonstrates that Hobbes undertook a highly
systematic transformation of Aristotelian cosmology: he borrowed
the form of the Aristotelian cosmology, but radically refashioned
its substance to accommodate the discoveries of contemporaries such
as Galileo.
