This paper reviews the intricate relationship between mathematics and philosophy from the perspective of Thomas Hobbes. It delves into how Hobbes conceptualized scientific practice during his era, particularly focusing on mathematics. The paper aims to address why Hobbes's contributions are not prominently featured in the historical narratives of mathematics today. Despite his affinity for Galilean physics, Hobbes's achievements in geometry and mathematics were not as recognized, which reflects broader themes in the history of scientific and social research.
