Synopsis
This is the fascinating story of the emergence, from the early 16th to the early 19th century, of great ideas and intellectual systems that shaped modern thought. Introducing some of the world's most influential thinkers, including Descartes, Kant and Hume, Kenny looks closely at the main areas of philosophical exploration in this period. A selection of intriguing and beautiful illustrations offer a vivid evocation of the human and social side of philosophy.Related books and articles at Questia
