Sir Anthony Kenny tells the fascinating story of the development of philosophy from the early nineteenth to the late twentieth century. Alongside extraordinary scientific advances, cultural changes, and political upheavals, the last two centuries have seen some of the most intriguing and original developments in philosophical thinking, which have transformed our understanding of ourselves and our world. Kenny introduces the ideas of such extraordinary thinkers as Schopenhauer,Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Marx, Freud, Heidegger, Sartre, Wittgenstein, and Russell; the narrative is illuminated by a selection of intriguing and beautiful illustrations. Philosophy in the Modern World is the fourth and final volume of Kenny's magisterial New History of Western Philosophy. CONDITION â USED: Books sold are in GOOD or better condition.
