A History of Modern European Philosophy is based on the premise that the surest means for a clear understanding of the thought that shapes much of today's western civilizatinn lies in a firm grasp of the basic theories of Europe's leading philosophers since 1600. For the benefit of the reader who wishes to understand without being forced to battle through a jungle of words for every concept, Dr. Collins has kept language as simple as possible, consonant with precision and the requirements of the philosopher's vocabulary. He concentrates on the post~Renaissance era as most influential, instead of burdening the reader with a mass of diluted general information; he concentrates on the leading thinkers, instead of cataloging all; he concentrates on the main facets of each one's views, instead of adding a multitude of confusing minor theories. Still, a piecemeal, incomplete presentation is avoided. Here is discussed Machiavelli's political utilitarianism, Francis Bacon's scientific method, Galileo's mathematical philosophy, Newton's empiricism, and Hobbes' nominalism and subjectivism. Here Descartes' methodic doubt, Spinoza's quest after the knowledge which makes men happy, the monadology of Leibniz and the historical plain method of Locke, Berkeley's immaterialism, and Hume's mechanical laws of association are described. Here, too, are found evaluations of Fichte's subjective idealism and Schopenhauer's irrationalistic, pessimistic metaphysics. Finally, there are treatments of Comte's positivism, the utilitarianism of John Stuart Mill, Nietzsche's will~to~power, and the creative evolution of Bergson. Here is the whole chaotic era of straight and twisted thought, reflecting upheavals in politics, economics, science, religion, and morality. The result is one of the most valuable and significant works of its kind in print today.
