Recenzii
...one of Thomas Hobbes's best-known, but least understood, claims is that he is the first to uncover a true science of politics and, furthermore, that this is modelled on the only other true science: geometry [...] Adams's [Hobbes's] Two Sciences is to-date the most thorough and systematic anatomy of Hobbesian knowledge in relation to geometry.
Hobbes's Two Sciences is a rigorous and erudite analysis of a single question that aims at the heart of Hobbes research, which is whether the most systematic of English political philosophers offers a unitary system of philosophy rather than one divided between natural philosophy and civil philosophy.

This tightly argued book will appeal to those interested in early modern science and Hobbes, and the foundations of Hobbes's political philosophy.
