It takes a fresh and engaging look at the common themes that dominate this period, as well as examining the differences in the work of the six philosophers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough vivid and witty prose, Richard Francks skilfully presents ideas that have informed the development of philosophy as we know it, and which present a challenge to beliefs and attitudes that most of us now share. In this work we find the source of modern philosophical inquiry - questions such as the existence of God, the Mind and Body problem, the idea of self, and the existence of the world had their birth in these texts - as well as broader questions about political and social philosophy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThinkers discussed: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRene Descartes\u003cbr\u003eBaruch Spinoza\u003cbr\u003eGottfried Willhelm Leibniz\u003cbr\u003eJohn Locke\u003cbr\u003eGeorge Berkeley\u003cbr\u003eDavid Hume \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis will be ideal for anybody coming to the ideas of these philosophers for the first time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Francks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1857285654\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781857285659\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/09\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.67d","brand":"Richard Francks","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48135886897407,"sku":"9781857285659","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ffa720c1-d8c0-4059-8919-7f1d668d2662.jpg?v=1770159109","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/modern-philosophy-richard-francks-9781857285659","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
