Abstract
The paper reconstructs the transition from theological symbolism of unity to naturalistic one in British philosophy of 17–18th centuries. It reveals the specific of this process in comparison with continental philosophy and shows how the meaning of the concept «nature» transformed in Hobbes's and Locke's works in the light of the problem of solidarity.
