Abstract

Thomas Hobbes is a major thinker in the tradition of natural law theorizing, but there is much debate over where he breaks with the tradition preceding him. In this study, we argue Thomas Hobbes is best understood as a modern thinker with one foot in the older tradition of natural law exemplified by Thomas Aquinas and Francisco Suarez.
