History of Materialism until Kant, Volume II unfolds the English and European roots of materialist thinking and its later critique. It surveys key figures, ideas, and conflicts that shaped modern philosophy and science.
This volume traces early groundwork from Bacon and Occam to Hobbes, and shows how Newtonian physics and mechanical theories reinforced material explanations. It also surveys eighteenth‑century debates, including Hartley’s two‑part work and its theological implications, along with Kant’s turning point for modern philosophy.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history of Materialism, a philosophical concept exploring the nature of reality and the human mind. It traces the development of this idea from its early roots in ancient Greece through to its prominent role in 18th-century European thought. Focusing on key figures like Hobbes, Locke, and Diderot, the author examines how Materialism challenged traditional religious and philosophical beliefs by proposing that everything, including the mind, arises from the interactions of physical matter. This exploration sheds light on the intellectual ferment of the Enlightenment era, where Materialism served as a powerful tool for questioning established authority and paving the way for new scientific and social paradigms. By examining the intricate arguments and counter-arguments surrounding Materialism, the book reveals the profound impact this concept has had on our understanding of consciousness, free will, and even morality. Ultimately, it invites readers to consider the enduring relevance of Materialism in shaping our own interpretations of the world and our place within it.
