The Cambridge History of Seventeenth-Century Philosophy: Volume 2

The ultimate comprehensive, authoritative overview of early-modern philosophy, written by an international team of specialists. The history of science, religious doctrine, and politics feature prominently. The narrative begins with Aristotle's intellectualism, but by the end of the period, the true science of philosophy that we know today had evolved. Two volumes boxed. The contributors offer a comprehensive overview of early modern philosophy. As with other Cambridge histories, the subject is treated with great temporal flexibility, incorporating frequent reference to medieval and Renaissance ideas.
