Produktbeschreibung

Modern Philosophy - From Descartes to Nietzsche: An Anthology features a broad range of selections from important but seldom anthologized works in the philosophy of psychology, natural science, metaphysics, epistemology, morality, politics, and religion. Representative selections from Descartes's work in physics, Berkeley's commentary on morality, Kant's political theory, and Mill's analysis of religion - to name just a few - are placed alongside carefully chosen excerpts from some of their better-known works. The editors have selected these texts in way which places the modern philosophers in direct conversation with each other. This volume provides an unparalleled offering of primary sources for anyone interested in the history of philosophy and modern political thought. When used alongside The Blackwell Guide to the Modern Philosophers (2001), these volumes provide students of modern philosophy with an ideal combination of primary sources and expert commentary.

Rezensionen

"An exceptional resource, providing an unusually wide and variedrange of texts for each author. This book will be invaluable,giving a breadth of material without equal. An essential work ofreference." Nicholas Dent, University of Birmingham

"While the study of modern philosophy has become a rich andexciting field, most texts for the period exactly resemble thetexts of 30 years ago. In addition to moving beyond theMeditations and the Monadology to give some sense ofthe breadth of interests of the moderns, Emmanuel and Goold includea fine selection of nineteenth-century works. This collectionshould enable students and teachers to reconsider the contours ofmodern philosophy." Patricia Kitcher, ColumbiaUniversity
