The Rise of Modern Philosophy  is the fascinating story of the emergence, from the early sixteenth to the early nineteenth century, of great ideas and intellectual systems that shaped modern thought. Kenny introduces us to some of the world's most original and influential thinkers, and shows us the way to an understanding of their famous works.\r\n\r\n The thinkers wemeet include Rene Descartes, traditionally seen as the founder of modern philosophy  the great British philosophers Hobbes, Locke, and Hume  and the towering figure of Immanuel Kant, who perhaps more than any other made philosophy what it is today.  In the first three chapters Kenny tells the story chronologically: his lively accessible narrative brings the philosophers to life and fills in the historical and intellectual background to their work. It is ideal as the first thing to read for someone new to the history of modern philosophy.\r\n\r\n In the seven chapters that follow Kenny looks closely at each of the main areas of philosophical exploration in this period: knowledge and understanding  the nature of the physical universe  metaphysics(the most fundamental questions there are about existence)  mind and soul  the nature and content of morality  political philosophy  and God.  A selection of intriguing and beautiful illustrations offer a vivid evocation of the human and social side of philosophy. Anyone who is interested in how our understanding of ourselves and our world developed will find this a book a pleasure to read.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen possible we will add details of the items we are selling to help buyers know what is included in the item for sale.
