History of Modern Philosophy by Richard Falckenberg
"History of Modern Philosophy" by Richard Falckenberg is a comprehensive scholarly publication crafted in the late 19th century. The work serves as a detailed manual aimed at students and educators, bridging the gap between expansive histories of philosophy and concise summaries. The text embarks on a thorough exploration of philosophical developments from the era of Nicolas of Cusa to contemporary thought, examining key figures, movements, and the evolving nature of philosophical inquiry.
The opening of this historical account sets the stage for a deep dive into the transitional period between medieval and modern philosophy, highlighting the contributions of important thinkers like Nicolas of Cusa, Descartes, and others. Falckenberg introduces the difficulties philosophers encountered as they navigated between the lingering effects of scholasticism and the burgeoning ideas of the Renaissance. He emphasizes the need for a structured understanding of philosophical evolution, discussing the intertwined fates of rationalism, empiricism, and metaphysics, while also detailing the personal stories and intellectual journeys of notable philosophers. Overall, the beginning of the text establishes a framework for understanding modern philosophy's intricate emergence amidst historical upheavals and shifts in thought.
