This guide brings together eighteen original interpretations of the
modern philosophers from Descartes to Nietzsche. The contributors
succeed brilliantly in placing their figures within a rich
historical, cultural, and philosophical context, noting some of the
important ways in which their ideas and arguments were shaped by
the intellectual currents of the time, and how they in turn shaped
subsequent philosophical debate.
Each chapter focuses on the central ideas and arguments of an
individual philosopher, with discussions ranging over a wide
variety of topics, including morality, politics, religion,
epistemology, metaphysics, aesthetics, logic, mathematics, and the
natural sciences.
Combining the virtues of careful scholarship and lucid exposition,
these essays achieve a balance between intellectual history and
philosophical analysis that is rarely found in collections of this
kind. Thus, although the volume is eminently suitable for a student
audience, the essays will certainly be of great interest to
scholars who work in the field of modern philosophy or whose work
encompasses intellectual history.
