Index.

"An exceptional resource, providing an unusually wide and varied
range of texts for each author. This book will be invaluable,
giving a breadth of material without equal. An essential work of
reference." Nicholas Dent, University of Birmingham


"While the study of modern philosophy has become a rich and
exciting field, most texts for the period exactly resemble the
texts of 30 years ago. In addition to moving beyond the
Meditations and the Monadology to give some sense of
the breadth of interests of the moderns, Emmanuel and Goold include
a fine selection of nineteenth-century works. This collection
should enable students and teachers to reconsider the contours of
modern philosophy." Patricia Kitcher, Columbia
University
