The Blackwell Guide to the Modern Philosopher

"Steven Emmanuel has done an impressive job of assembling a distinguished group of authors who give us a very helpful guide to the modern philosophers. With an eye to bringing us up to speed on the more recent scholarship, the contributors provide a timely, readable, and highly worthwhile collection." John Fischer, University of California, Riverside
"This is a wonderful resource! It provides a valuable service by drawing on experts for eminently clear and engaging narratives. I expect to refer to it often." M. Jamie Ferreira, University of Virginia
"This book is a worthy acquisition." R.H. Nash, Reformed Theological Seminary, Choice, January 2001
"A superb volume...Each essay is clearly written, with most or all jargon carefully explained. By far this book s greatest asset...is the extraordinary way in which Emmanuel gets the different authors to provide, as if in concert, a chronological development of the main ideas of the period. Emmanuel s beautiful volume can, I think, very richly supplement a student s exposure to the period for those figures whose work receives little or no space on the syllabus." Patrick Mooney, John Carroll University, THES, 1/6/01
