This work offers a concise and accessible introduction to the key
empiricists of the 17th and 18th centuries, ideal for undergraduate
students. Empiricism is one of the most widely discussed topics in
philosophy. Students regularly encounter the well known opposition
between rationalism and empiricism - the clash between reason and
experience as sources of knowledge and ideas - at an early stage in
their studies. "The Empiricists: A Guide for the Perplexed" offers
a clear and thorough guide to the key thinkers responsible for
developing this central concept in the history of philosophy. The
book focuses on the canonical figures of the empiricist movement,
Locke, Berkeley and Hume, but also explores the contributions made
by other key figures such as Bacon, Hobbes, Boyle and
Newton.Laurence Carlin presents the views of these hugely
influential thinkers in the context of the Scientific Revolution,
the intellectual movement in which they emerged, and explores in
detail the philosophical issues that were central to their work.
Specifically designed to meet the needs of students seeking a
thorough understanding of the topic, this book is the ideal guide
to a key concept in the history of philosophy. "Continuum's Guides
for the Perplexed" are clear, concise and accessible introductions
to thinkers, writers and subjects that students and readers can
find especially challenging - or indeed downright bewildering.
Concentrating specifically on what it is that makes the subject
difficult to grasp, these books explain and explore key themes and
ideas, guiding the reader towards a thorough understanding of
demanding material.
