7559	Every part of the universe is body, and non-body is not part of it [Hobbes]
	Full Idea: The world is corporeal, that is to say, body...and every part of the universe is body, and that which is not body is no part of the universe.
	From: Thomas Hobbes (Leviathan [1651], IV.46)
	A reaction: [Hobbes concedes existence to visible spirits, but not invisible ones]. This is the kind of remark which got Hobbes hated. It is also the sort of thing that makes him the best candidate for the 'first modern man'.
