Learning from Six Philosophers: Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Locke, Berkeley, Hume Volume 1 Paperback - 2003

by Jonathan Bennett


From the publisher

Jonathan Bennett engages with the thought of six great thinkers of the early modern period: Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Locke, Berkeley, Hume. While not neglecting the historical setting of each, his chief focus is on the words they wrote. What problem is being tackled? How exactly is the solution meant to work? Does it succeed? If not, why not? What can be learned from its success or failure? For newcomers to the early modern scene, this clearly written work is an excellent introduction to it. Those already in the know can learn how to argue with the great philosophers of the past, treating them as colleagues, antagonists, students, teachers. In this first volume, Descartes, Spinoza, and Leibniz receive particular attention.

First line

This book is an exercise in the collegial approach to early modern philosophy, in which one studies the texts in the spirit of a colleague, an antagonist, a student, a teacher-aiming to learn as much philosophy as one can from studying them.
