“Vuestro tan respetable hermano, el Sr. Sidney Godolphin, gustaba mientras vivió de tomar en consideración mis escritos, obligándome, además —como bien sabéis— con testimonios prácticos de su buena opinión, grandes en sí mismos pero mayores aún por la valía de su persona.”
Thomas Hobbes, in some older texts Thomas Hobbs of Malmsbury, was an English philosopher, remembered today for his work on political philosophy. His 1651 book Leviathan established the foundation for most of Western political philosophy from the perspective of social contract theory. Hobbes also contributed to a diverse array of fields, including history, geometry, physics of gases, theology, ethics, general philosophy, and political science.

He was one of the main philosophers who founded materialism.<sup>[1][1]</sup> [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Th
