RESUMO
This study, which precedes the translation, intended to show how the art of rhetoric Thomas Hobbes is present throughout his philosophy. This presence goes beyond the use of tropes and figures, leads the hobbesian thought in their ideas about the man, in their passions, in its movere, in the state and its maintenance. The rhetoric art seems also to figure in its natural philosophy. The method, which is the base upon all its thinking, lay down their roots in the rhetoric art of Aristotle. The commentary stands out, over all, the relevance of texts on rhetoric of Thomas Hobbes in the history of modern political philosophy, so far little studied.
