![]() | Ideas and Mechanism: Essays on Early Modern Philosophy Subjects: Philosophy Modern; Descartes Rene 1596–1650; Berkeley George 1685–1753; Leibniz Gottfried Wilhelm. Freiherr von. 1646–1716; For more than three decades, Margaret Wilson's essays on early modern philosophy have influenced scholarly debate. Many are considered classics in the field and remain as important today as they were when they were first published. Until now, however, they have never been available in book form and some have been particularly difficult to find. This collection not only provides access to nearly all of Wilson's most significant work, but also demonstrates the continuity of her thought over time. These essays show that Wilson possesses a keen intelligence, coupled with a fearlessness in tackling the work of early modern philosophers as well as the writing of modern commentators. Many of the pieces collected here respond to philosophical issues of continuing importance. |
