Thomas Hobbes’s Epistemology: Antepredicative Knowledge, Theory of Language and Predicative Knowledge
Keywords:
Thomas Hobbes, History of Modern Philosophy, Baroque Philosophy, Theory of Knowledge, Epistemology
Abstract
In this article we’ll analyze Hobbes’s theory of knowledge. Following Yves Charles Zarka, we’ll divide his epistemology in two: the antepredicative and the predicative knowledge. The main difference between them is that the second uses the benefits of language to create science, so we’ll have to describe Hobbes’s theory of language too. We’ll also explain the method of science: some kind of compositive-resolutive method but with a linguistic basis.Downloads
