The book also analyses the role played by Marin Mersenne, in spreading Galileo’s ideas in France, and as a discussant of Hobbes. It highlights the many aspects of Hobbes’ relationship with Galileo: the methodological and epistemological elements, but also the conceptual and the lexical analogies in the field of physics, to arrive, finally, at a close comparison on the subject of the matter. From this analysis emerges a shared mechanical conception of the universe open and infinite, that replaces the Aristotelian cosmos, and which is populated by two elements only: matter and motion.\n                \n                \u003c\/p\u003e\n                                \n                \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n                            \n            \u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783030414139\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783030414160\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Libri","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover - 9783030414139","offer_id":32331657543773,"sku":"9783030414139","price":106.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Softcover - 9783030414160","offer_id":39419008876637,"sku":"9783030414160","price":106.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/3bbe4441-8923-486f-8389-ae046335e276.jpg?v=1775278753","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/hobbes-and-galileo-method-matter-and-the-science-of-motion-von-gregorio-baldin","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
