About the Book

A Companion to Early Modern Philosophy is a comprehensive guide to the most significant philosophers and philosophical concepts of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Europe. The individual chapters, written by leading scholars in the field, represent the most up-to-date research in the history of early modern philosophy. These newly commissioned essays span a wide range of philosophical areas and problems, including metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of science, ethics, political philosophy, and aesthetics. Each presents a general overview of the thought of each figure and provides the reader with an accessible but sophisticated account of the philosopher's basic ideas. A Companion to Early Modern Philosophy includes biographical information on each philosopher, a bibliographical guide, and a list of works for further reading. It will be an invaluable resource for students and professionals alike.

Review :
"Produced by a roster of highly qualified experts, this comprehensive account of the early modern period breaks new ground and covers old ground in a new and useful way. It should be consulted by almost anyone working in the field." Thomas M. Lennon, University of Western Ontario "Early modern philosophy has become a rather complicated domain in recent years, as scholars have delved deeper into the period and unearthed more and more philosophers and texts. Steven Nadlera s Companion is the perfect guide to this new world. Its forty chapters by a group of internationally distinguished authors give students and scholars a solid introduction to a wide variety of figures. It will help shape the way scholarship is done in the coming years." Daniel Garber, University of Chicago
