Description
This enlarged edition of A Critical History of Modern Philosophy includes Greek and Medieval Philosophies. The book also includes a critical and comparative account of the major contributions of eight modern thinkers.
To this exposition the idealism of Hegel and Bradley has been introduced. Recent discussion concerning Hums, Kant, Hegel and Bradley have also been incorporated. Whilst giving fully an analytic account of topics, the author maintains that philosophy is a holistic enterprise of man, as we find it in Spinoza, Kant, Hegel and Bradley.
The book is the outcome of the author’s long teaching experience in the University of Magadh. It has turned out to be a reliable and useful book. This thoroughly revised and enlarged edition will prove to be all the more serviceable in general.
