The relation between Thomas Hobbes natural philosophy and political philosophy
(İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi, 2019) Alat, Muhittin Murat; Talay Turner, Zeynep
ABSTRACT: English seventeenth century philosopher Thomas Hobbes is widely known for his book "Leviathan" and his theories on political philosophy. Despite the fact that he wrote in detail on political philosophy he also had studied on naturak philosophy and psychology. As a result of close cross reading of his writings I argue that Hobbes's varied areas of study are interconnected. The way he imagined the cosmos also determines the way he establishes civil society. He belives that cosmos sis full of constantly moving bodies and the interaction between these bodies are ordered by the laws of nature. As human being is a body just like any other body, human's motion is also subjected to these laws. I argue that for Hobbes in order to get self conscious human being needed to establish a central power figu?re whihc is symbolised as Leviathan. I will try to prove this through showing links between Hobbes's different texts.
