A History of Philosophy: Book Three (Volume VII, Fichte to Nietzsche, Volume VIII, Bentham to Russell, Volume IX, Maine De Biran to Sartre)

Here in one convenient volume are Volumes VII, VIII, and IX - complete and unabridged - of the acclaimed reference work that has dominated the field of philosophy for two decades. Volume VII considers such world-famous modern Western philosophers as Fichte, Schelling, Schleiermacher, Hegel, Schopenhauer Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche. Volume VIII, on British empiricism, the idealist movement in Great Britain, idealism in America, the pragmatist movement, and the revolt against idealism, covers such thinkers as Bentham, Herbert Spencer, T. H. Green, Bradley, Bosanquet, Royce, C. S. Peirce, William James, G. E. Moore, John Dewey, and Bertrand Russell. Volume IX presents the prominent French philosophical thinkers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with full attention to the themes of human freedom and man in society - including Maine de Biran, Comte, Henri Bergson, Garrigou-Lagrange, and Sartre. These individual volumes have been hailed as "objective, yet critical. . . significant. . . clear-sighted. . . intelligent. . . unrivalled." Now available as a three-in-one paperback, it will be welcomed by new and seasoned students and scholars of modern philosophy as a reference work that no library should be without.
