Description

A Companion to Rationalism is a wide-ranging examination of rationalist thought in philosophy from ancient times to the present day.

Written by a superbly qualified cast of philosophers, this book critically analyses the concept of rationalism.

The focus is principally on the golden age of rationalism in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, but the book also covers ancient rationalism, nineteenth-century rationalism, and rationalist themes in recent thought.

Organised chronologically, A Companion to Rationalism represents various philosophical methods and viewpoints.
