A History of Philosophy, Vol. 5: Modern Philosophy - The British Philosophers from Hobbes to Hume

Copleston's "A History of Philosophy" is a major classic in the field. Even though it is in ten volumes it is very readable. This particular volume was on Modern Philosophy, His treatment and analysis of the various philosophers throughout the ages is in depth and excellent. I was aware that he was a Jesuit, but he is clear about his positions and I did not find that it distorted any historical facts or known views of the various thinkers. For any serious student of philosophy it is well worth the effort to study the entire series.

who doesnt love insanely detailed academically infused expositions about dead british philosophers who werent even convinced that knowledge has any precise, accurate, and meaningful definition. fast shipping, low cost, great condition....gotta be happy!

These books were used in our seminary 1958-1960 and are excellent expositions of philosophers some of whom were very weird.

This book is a fantastic compilation of philosophical writings covering many areas of specialty within philosophy as a whole. A must have for any student of philosophy and all lovers of wisdom.

Did not get the book I ordered. I ordered Volume 5 which should have encompassed Hobbes to Hume, as advertised, but I received an old copy with only part 1 of 2 of volume 5, covering only Hobbes to Paley.

Perfect book

Received the book in good condition

love it
