The published version of the section on man, De homine, starts with optics, which falls within Hobbes's science of physics, and goes on to discuss matters to do with the passions and good and evil. This means that De homine contains some physics and some philosophical psychology continuous with physics. In Descartes, because physics is the study of material things and because human beings are composites of material and immaterial substance, there is no making the sciences of man into mere sub-departments of physics, although Cambridge Companions Online © Cambridge University Press, 2006 54 THE CAMBRIDGE COMPANION TO HOBBES they depend on physics.
The English passage (from the introductory section of the MS: Hobbes, AW, 449) appears in Hobbes's "Answer" to the Preface to Gondibert (see Davenant, Gondibert, p. 49; EW vol. iv, p. 449). As Rossi noted, the MS also borrows a phrase from Sir Thomas Browne's Religio medici, which was published in London in 1642. If we assume that the English in the MS was Hobbes's own, an easy explanation of this link with Browne suggests itself: Sir Kenelm Digby, who had read Browne's book and written a reply to it in London in December 1642, returned to Paris in July 1643 and may well have brought a copy of Religio medici with him.
