Hobbes's Materialism in the Early 1640s
British Journal for the History of Philosophy 13 (3):437 – 448 (2005)
Abstract
I argue that Hobbes isn't really a materialist in the early 1640s (in, e.g., the Third Objections to Descartes's Meditations). That is, he doesn't assert that bodies are the only substances. However, he does think that bodies are the only substances we can think about using imagistic ideas.
