No Customer Reviews

'A monumental history . . . learned, lucid, patient and comprehensive.'
NEW STATESMAN
'We can only applaud at the end of each act and look forward to applauding again at the final curtain.'
TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT

Frederick Copleston was Professor of the History of Philosophy and Dean of the Faculty of Theology at London University. This eleven-volume work is one of the most remarkable single-handed scholarly enterprises of modern times. Brimming with detail and enthusiasm, A History of Philosophy gives an accessible account of philosophers from all eras and explains their works in relation to other philosophers.

Each volume is an ideal guide for students studying specific eras and as a set offers a complete and unrivalled overview of the entire western philosophical tradition.

Volume 5
British Philosophy
This volume of Copleston's A History of Philosophy looks at the British philosophers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In particular, it deals with the political philosophies of Hobbes and Locke that developed in response to the English Civil War, and with Hume's empiricism.
