About this title

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.

Review

...a remarkable job...condensing a wide range of facts and reflections in small compass and keeping up forward motion among ideas in a most instructive manner.>>>> (Jacques Barzun)
