The Edinburgh Critical History of Nineteenth-Century Philosophy cover

The Edinburgh Critical History of Philosophy is a seven-volume reference work on the history of philosophy. This volume begins with the rise of German Idealism and Romanticism, traces the developments of naturalism, positivism, and materialism and of later-century attempts to combine idealist and naturalist modes of thought. Written by a team of leading international scholars this crucial period of philosophy is examined from the novel perspective of themes and lines of thought which cut across authors, disciplines, and national boundaries. This fresh approach will open up new ways for specialists as well as students to conceptualise the history of 19th-century thought within philosophy, politics, religious studies and literature.

This is a stimulating and highly informative collection of articles, giving us a very clear view of the philosophical significance of the nineteenth century, and its central issues and disputes. Anyone with interests in this field should find it worthwhile, and I recommend it highly. -- Professor Robert Stern, the University of Sheffield This is a stimulating and highly informative collection of articles, giving us a very clear view of the philosophical significance of the nineteenth century, and its central issues and disputes.
