Description: "Divided chronologically into four volumes, The Philosophy of Knowledge: A History presents the history of one of Western philosophy's greatest challenges: understanding the nature of knowledge. Each volume follows conceptions of knowledge that have been proposed, defended, replaced, and proposed anew. Knowledge in Modern Philosophy covers the emergence and consolidation of a new approach to questions in philosophy, science, and religion in the 17th, 18th, and 19thcenturies. The chapters explore the work of Hobbes, Descartes, Leibniz, Kant, and Mill among others, with a view to understanding the origins of modern thought."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
