Chappel in his book Cartesian Philosphers, relates these two thinkers. From the little I've read of Hobbes, I can see that the XVII Century had a definite effect on those thinkers.
I only bring one point here. Civil War and The Great Plague of London, marked these men's lives.
The world was coming to an end, not unlike what is happening right now. Great men were able to learn from hardship, I hope we do so now.
