In his \u003ci\u003eDe motu, loco et tempore\u003c\/i\u003e or \u003ci\u003eAnti-White \u003c\/i\u003e(~ 1643), Thomas Hobbes describes Galileo as “the greatest philosopher of all times”, and in \u003ci\u003eDe Corpore\u003c\/i\u003e (1655), the Italian scientist is presented as the one who “opened the door of all physics, that is, the nature of motion.”  The book gives a detailed analysis of Galileo’s legacy in Hobbes’s philosophy, exploring four main issues: a comparison between Hobbes’ and Mersenne’s natural philosophies, the Galilean Principles of Hobbes’ philosophical system, a comparison between Galileo’s \u003ci\u003emomentum \u003c\/i\u003eand Hobbes’s \u003ci\u003econatus \u003c\/i\u003e, and Hobbes’ and Galileo’s theories of matter. The book also analyses the role played by Marin Mersenne, in spreading Galileo’s ideas in France, and as a discussant of Hobbes. It highlights the many aspects of Hobbes’ relationship with Galileo: the methodological and epistemological elements, but also the conceptual and the lexical analogies in the field of physics, to arrive, finally, at a close comparison on the subject of the matter. From this analysis emerges a shared mechanical conception of the universe open and infinite, that replaces the Aristotelian cosmos, and which is populated by two elements only: matter and motion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2020-04-16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030414139\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-41414-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 216\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378890760332,"sku":"9783030414139","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030414139.jpg?v=1775709231","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030414139","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
