"The Eighteenth century is one of the most important periods in the history of Western philosophy, witnessing the philosophical, scientific, religious, and social and political change of the Enlightenment on a massive scale. In spite of this, there are few overviews of the philosophy of the period as a whole. The Routledge Companion to Eighteenth Century Philosophy is an authoritative survey and assessment of this momentous period, covering major thinkers, topics and movements in Eighteenth century philosophy. The thirty-six specially commissioned chapters by a team of international contributors offer an extensive treatment of the Enlightenment, metaphysics and religion, mind, knowledge, perception, passions, morals, politics and aesthetics. A section on Philosophy and the Arts and Sciences shows the connections between philosophy and other areas of inquiry, and the final part is devoted to major figures of the period: Hume, Kant, and Rousseau. The Routledge Companion to Eighteenth Century Philosophy provides students of philosophy and those from related disciplines with an outstanding and accessible guide to this fascinating period in the history of philosophy"--
