The Cambridge History of Seventeenth-Century Philosophy, Volume 2

Cambridge UK: Cambridge University Press, 1998. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a dust jacket with mild fading to spine, 953-1616 pages. Volume 2 only of a 2-volume set. The Cambridge History of Seventeenth-Century Philosophy offers a uniquely comprehensive and authoritative overview of early-modern philosophy written by an international team of specialists. As with previous Cambridge Histories of Philosophy the subject is treated by topic and theme, and since history does not come packaged in neat bundles, the subject is also treated with great temporal flexibility, incorporating frequent reference to medieval and Renaissance ideas. The basic structure corresponds to the way an educated seventeenth-century European might have organized the domain of philosophy. Thus, the history of science, religious doctrine, and politics feature very prominently. Light pencil marking to about a dozen pages. Otherwise clean. Record # 384222
