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
