内容简介
“Between the earliest and the latest of the works included
here, we have two hundred and fifty years of vigorous and
adventurous philosophizing,” Monroe Beardsley writes in his
Introduction to this collection. “If the modern period can be only
vaguely or arbitrarily bounded, it can at least be studied, and we
can ask whether any dominant themes, overall patterns of movement,
or notable achievements can be found within it. This question is
one that is best asked by the reader after he has read, or read
around in, these works.”
