Issues and arguments that dominated the historical periods of their subjects are explored, providing fresh insights into the work of some pivotal philosophers such as Descartes, Spinoza, and Locke, and extending the boundaries of discussion concerning their role in the history of philosophy. Furthermore, exciting and fresh perspectives are cast on some lesser-known philosophers whose work has not been studied as seriously and rigorously as their works merit. The scope of the volume is historically and philosophically broad, extending from fifteenth century figures as Ficino, Machiavelli, and Pompanazzi to the work of Montesquieu in the eighteenth century. \u003ci\u003eRenaissance and Early Modern Philosophy \u003c\/i\u003ewill be a major resource for anyone pursuing serious study of this important period in the development of Western Philosophy.","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989942616293,"sku":"NP9780631233824","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780631233824.jpg?v=1761785979","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/renaissance-and-early-modern-philosophy-volume-xxvi-isbn-9780631233824","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
