Oxford Studies in Early Modern Philosophy Volume III [Paperback]

Oxford Studies in Early Modern Philosophyfocuses on the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries--the extraordinary period of intellectual flourishing that begins, very roughly, with Descartes and his contemporaries and ends with Kant. It also publishes papers on thinkers or movements outside of that framework, provided they are important in illuminating early modern thought.
