Synopsis

Provides an introduction to philosophical thought to those who may never have studied the field. It is especially designed for college undergraduates-as a survey of intellectual history from 1600 to the present, from Descartes to Foucault. Although two of its six sections discuss rationalisms, the emphasis of the work is upon empiricism and its history.
