""History of English Thought in the Eighteenth Century"" is a two-volume work by Leslie Stephen that explores the intellectual landscape of England during the 1700s. The first volume covers the period from the beginning of the century until the mid-1700s, examining the major philosophical, political, and religious movements of the time. Stephen provides detailed analyses of the works of key figures such as John Locke, David Hume, and Bishop Berkeley, as well as lesser-known thinkers like Francis Hutcheson and Anthony Collins. He also delves into the social and cultural context in which these ideas emerged, considering the impact of the Enlightenment, the rise of the middle class, and the changing political climate. With its comprehensive scope and insightful analysis, ""History of English Thought in the Eighteenth Century"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intellectual history of this era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
