SOLANO-FALLAS, Andrés. God according to Hobbes. Inconsistencies with his materialistic, mechanistic and nominal philosophy. Káñina [online]. 2018, vol.42, n.2, pp.327-343. ISSN 2215-2636.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/rk.v42i2.35496.

This paper analytically exposes the inconsistencies that arise in Thomas Hobbes’ philosophy, in relation to the concept of God, since the English philosopher conceives it within his materialistic-mechanistic statements. These inconsistencies are grouped into three specific points of his philosophy: the properly materialistic aspect, the mechanistic, finally, nominalism. At each point, it is explained in what way the concept of God implies or generates an inconsistency. Before doing the above, it is explained what Hobbes conceives as "God", as well as the argument to indicate its existence.

Keywords : God; Hobbes; materialism; mechanicism; nominalism; inconsistencies.
