Abstract
Thomas Hobbes is much better remembered for his political philosophy than his epistemology. Nevertheless, his theory of knowledge is an important contribution to the development of epistemology in the early modern period. The centerpiece of Hobbes’s theory of knowledge is his account of scientia, or deductively structured systematic knowledge that is grounded in the consideration of causes.
