History of Modern Philosophy

Abstract

AMONG the many histories of modern philosophy few are so interesting and attractive as that by Prof. Kuno Fisher. The present volume consists of a translation of the third revised German edition, which includes the period of Descartes and his school; and the admirable way in which the author deals with so difficult a subject and his boldness in overcoming it are worthy of the highest praise.

History of Modern Philosophy.

“Descartes and his School.” By Prof. Kuno Fisher. Translated by J. P. Gordy, Ph.D., and edited by Noah Porter, D.D., LL.D. (London: T. Fisher Unwin, 1887.)
