商品簡介
This collection presents 12 essays addressing questions related to the origins, development, key thinkers, and distinctive features of modern philosophy. Essays are arranged in chronological order of the topics they treat, from two chapters on Machiavelli, to later figures such as Descartes, Spinoza, Locke, Leibniz, Hume, Rousseau, and Kant. The final essay argues that the modern project has failed to answer the question of why there are human beings, and that the ideas of modern philosophy can’t build a case to prove that the extinction of the human species would be a bad thing.
