I studied Hobbes's Thought, focusing on the process of its historical development, and thereby made it clear that Hobbes established his position as a modern thinker through the inheritance and criticism of the European traditional thought. More specifically it was through the criticism of the Aristotelian theory of knowledge, the re-evaluation of Renaissance humanism, the turn from the republican or aristocratic ideal of human beings to the realistic view of human beings, and the break with the traditional theory of natural laws that Hobbes established his position as a modern thinker.
