Research On Hobbes’ Academic Communication And Thought Formation

The British philosopher Thomas Hobbes is a very representative and original leader in the history of modern European philosophy.He lived for more than 90 years,writing Do Cive,Leviathan,Do Corpore and other widely themed and influential masterpieces,covering history,philosophy,classics,geometry and many other fields.Hobbes summarized and summarized the new achievements of the flourishing natural science at that time,absorbed the beneficial elements of other people’s thoughts,and established a complete theoretical system of mechanical materialism.In Hobbes’ entire academic career,his research and thought are broad and deep and touch many fields,drawing a blueprint with reference value for the world.He himself deservedly ranks among the ideological giants,laying the foundation for the development of modern Western political philosophy.Based on Hobbes’ autobiography,treatises and correspondence,this paper makes a systematic study of his academic exchanges and thought formation,in order to clarify the real situation of academic exchanges among scholars in Britain and Europe in modern times.In the environment of the British bourgeois revolution and the gradual maturity of the Enlightenment thought,Hobbes’ s academic exchanges are a true portrayal of the combination of the change of the times and the construction of personal thoughts.Hobbes has conducted academic communication and collaborative research with Bacon,Galileo,Gassandi and other domestic and foreign scholars successively,completed the transition from humanistic research to natural philosophy and political philosophy and other research fields,and also promoted the improvement of his own academic ideological system.Hobbes made an independent value judgment based on his own understanding,and became a practitioner of the change of the times.The social,cultural,and ideological frontier intellectual groups that have always stood in the times,academic exchanges between them have contributed to the construction of a model of academic interaction and ideological exchange,demonstrating the advantages of collective research.Behind Hobbes’ academic exchanges and ideological formation,it not only reflects the common cognition of the times in the British and even European academic groups,but also reflects the inclusiveness and openness of British academic exchanges in the 17 th century and the overall academic process of continental European civilization.This provides a new research perspective for re-examining the relationship between British and even European academics and scholar groups during this period,and also provides a theoretical basis for exploring the historical reality behind the composition and transformation of ideas.
