This connection had wide-ranging implications for metaphysics, natural philosophy and politics: at its heart was the assumption that man was not only a rational, but also a temporal, animal. In 'Time and the Science of the Soul in Early Modern Philosophy', Michael Edwards traces this connection from late Aristotelian commentaries and philosophical textbooks to the natural and political philosophy of two of the best-known 'new philosophers' of the seventeenth century, Thomas Hobbes and René Descartes. The book demonstrates both time's importance as a philosophical problem, and the intellectual fertility and continued relevance of Aristotelian philosophy into the seventeenth century."--Back cover.
