German commentary |
"... while Spinoza had remained a metaphysical or systematic materialist, Strauss was persuaded by Tönnies's argument that Hobbes's natural philosophy is not "a materialist physics" but instead the "foundation of modern natural science." (p. 133) "...Hobbes grasps what Spinoza denies or obscures - the degree to which modern rationalism rests on the hope in progress of th human mind" (p. 139). |
