Synopsis

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.


  • Learn how materialist ideas emerged in England and spread through Europe.

  • See how science, religion, and philosophy interacted in the eighteenth century.

  • Explore the connections between sense, perception, and the structure of knowledge.

  • Understand the transition from classical materialism to Kantian critique.



Ideal for readers of the history of philosophy and the development of science.
