This rich survey attempts to make the history of modern philosophy cogent and intelligible to the common reader It sets out to clarify the principal metaphysical ethical and political attitudes of the postmedieval philosophers while maintaining a contemporary points of view on each of the major figures discussed An introductory section discusses the nature of philosophy as contrasted with and closely related to science and theology It locates the distinguishing features of philosophical thought in abstraction and concern for truth moving on from this broad description to a detailed consideration of points of view within the philosophical tradition The origins of philosophy are found in scholastic thought and traced further back to Plato and Aristotle From Descartes to Wittgenstein affirms a distinction between history of philosophy and history of ideas It argues that the great philosophers were wrestling with problems of perennial concern and that the true history of philosophy requires us to see this The issues discussed by Descartes amp his successors are not closed and modern thinkers can only benefit from acquaintance with their methods of argument No one contemporary school predominates in this history Spinoza Hegel and Sartre are treated as fairly as Locke Hume and Wittgenstein The book will be valued by students of philosophy in need of an unbiased modern perspective

This major new study of Descartes explores a number of key issues including his use of experience and reason in science the metaphysical foundations of Cartesian science the Cartesian concept of explanation and proof and an empiricist interpretation of the Regulae and the Discourse Dr Clarke argues that labels such as empiricism and rationalism are useless for understanding Descartes because at least in his scientific methodology he is very much an Aristotelian for whom reflection on ordinary experience is the primary source of scientific hypothesesDescartes traditionally has been presented as a classic example of rationalism in science especially by philosophers who concentrated their attention on the Meditations or the Discourse A different perspective is gained by reading Descartes as a practicing scientist and by examining his scientific work and correspondence with other seventeenthcentury scientists These texts suggest that the author relies very much on experience and in some cases on scientific experiments to support his theories or to dispute those of others Descartes scientific practice is even consistent with a less rationalistic interpretation of the Regulae and the Discourse than is normally defended

Discover information, advice, and prices for Individuation and Identity in Early, priced at 39.43 $ : it belongs to the Books & Magazines category; this product is sold by Abebooks.com and made by .
Philosophy in the sixteenth through eighteenth centuries has traditionally been characterized as being primarily concerned with epistemological issues This book is not intended to overturn this characterization but rather to balance it through an examination of equally important metaphysical or ontological positions held explicitly or implicitly by philosophers in this periodMajor philosophers whose views are discussed in this book include Descartes Malebranche Spinoza Locke Berkeley Hume Leibniz Wolff and Kant In addition the contributors of minor Cartesians especially Regis and Desgabets are analyzed in a separate chapter Although the views of early modern philosophers on individuation and identity have been discussed before these discussions have usually been treated as asides in a larger context This book is the first to concentrate on the problems of individuation and identity in early modern philosophy and to trace their philosophical development through the period in a coherent way

Modern philosophy in the West is said to have begun with Bacon and Descartes Their methodological and metaphysical writings in conjunction with the discoveries that marked the seventeenthcentury scientific revolution are supposed to have interred both Aristotelian and scholastic science and the philosophy that supported it But did the new or modern philosophy effect a complete break with what preceded it Were Bacon and Descartes untainted by scholastic influences The theme of this book is that the new and traditional philosophies have much more in common than the orthodox account suggests The contributors consider not only modernity in metaphysics and the sciences but also the claims of Machiavelli Hobbes and Spinoza to have invented modern ethics and politics These two aspects of modernity in philosophy are connected for the first time The book offers a broad view of the early modern philosophers covering not only the muchstudied major figures but also relatively neglected writers Mersenne Gassendi White and Sergeant
