Of course, after this unity is established, people would want more improvements. Perhaps if he grew up in a tyranny it would be freedom which he advocates. His chaotic time is why he values unity and stability so much more. It's truly fascinating how the time one is in affects one's views (think how all the 20th century philosophers/artists/psychologists reference the bomb, something that barely crosses any of our minds anymore) as well as the caliber of thinkers one is surrounded with.

These events greatly affects his philosophical views. He worked as Francis Bacon's secretary and engaged in dialogue with Galileo and Descartes. Thomas Hobbes was in the era of the English Civil war when he fled to France. With that said, I’ve decided to share these unedited notes on the off chance they are helpful to other readers. These notes were created during my reading process to aid my own understanding and not written for the purpose of instruction. 't must certainly be concluded regarding those things which, in external objects, we call by the names of light, color, odor, taste, sound, heat, cold, and of other tactile qualities, that we are not aware of their being anything other than various arrangements of the size, figure, and motions of the parts of these objects which make it possible for our nerves to move in various ways, and to excite in our soul all the various feelings which they produce there.' - René Descartes, Principles of Philosophy ( Principia philosophiae, 1644 - Les Principes de la Philosophie, 1647).My preferred way of engaging with books is reconstruction.

'I think that tastes, odors, colors, and so on are no more than mere names so far as the object in which we locate them are concerned, and that they reside in consciousness.' - Galileo Galilei, The Assayer ( Il Saggiatore, 1623). The idea is that our way to 'see' and perceive the properties of things outside us is determined by the actions external objects elicit on our sense, but in no way we are licensed to infer from our perception that external objects are 'exactly' as we perceive them.
