Through the thought of these philosophers, a progressive emancipation of philosophy from theology can be traced. The typical thinkers and writers of this period believed that the human reason was the apt and only instrument for solving problems connected with man and society. They represented the extension of the scientific outlook to man himself, and combined humanism with this scientific outlook.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA special feature of this volume is the detailed introduction to the whole subject of modern philosophy. In this chapter Father Copleston attempts to show the real spirit of modern philosophy by pointing out both its continuity with the late-Mediaeval and Renaissance thought, and also its novel and revolutionary aspects. These introductory pages serve as an excellent survey of the whole of the modern period and are a bridge between the three preceding volumes-Greece and Rome; Mediaeval Philos-ophy; and Late Mediaeval and Renaissance Philosophy-and the volumes which follow.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eImage Books 1963 Edition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDetails\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN: \u003cstrong\u003e0385016336\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublishing House: Image Books, 1963\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Eureka Editions ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58198533210460,"sku":null,"price":14.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/6333\/3724\/files\/5EFADCCC-35F1-444D-AB6C-989F928C348C.jpg?v=1783169803","url":"https:\/\/www.eurekaedition.com\/products\/a-history-of-philosophy-volume-iv-modern-philosophy-descartes-to-leibniz-by-frederick-copleston","provider":"Eureka Editions ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
