Hobbes’s exegesis is not a dissimulated exercise reaching masks his political philosophy, but an epistemological consequence, having a contíguos and mouved body the only cause of all representantions. There is not representantion that does not depend on the fisiological course of images in mind, the natural causality and his mechanical determination. Even the supernatural inspiration of the Escriptures does not escapes from the elements that lead his Philosophia Prima. Hobbes’s biblical hermeneutics is trained by his radical corporalism and sets up the paradigmas of his sub ratione materiae exegesis.
