Summary/Abstract: The humanistic aspect in Hobbes’s works has been widely discussed by many theoreticians during the history. Since Hobbes’s thoughts and their meaning were strongly influenced by the relationship between the humanism and the modern science, consequently they provoked numerous interpretations of his work. Hobbes criticized ars civilis in a way that it at the same time laid foundations of his philosophia civilis. The influence of both on his mayor works provoked many different opinions among his followers. However, discussion of the confusing reason concept could help us to understand some of the seemingly unsolved paradigms which make his philosophy extremely intriguing.
