This concise book introduces students to the claims and arguments of the seven main philosophers covered in modern philosophy courses: Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Locke, Berkeley, Hume and Kant. This book focuses on the philosophical issues in the arguments, shows the interrelations among the different philosophers, and links their claims to more contemporary thought. The text also discusses the development of empiricism and rationalism, how Kant tries to solve the problems raised by both, and some of the weaknesses in the distinction between the two.
