Modern Philosophy

Synopsis: During the 16th century, a new breed of thinker arose, equal parts philosopher and scientist. In this programme, Paul Guyer, of the University of Pennsylvania; Rutgers University’s Colin McGinn; and Princeton University’s Kwame Anthony Appiah and Daniel Garber address the major philosophical currents of that era as well as the controversies surrounding them. Bacon’s "Novum Organum", Descartes’s "Discourse on the Method," Hobbes’ "Leviathan", Spinoza’s "Ethics", are among the works discussed. The DVD version has on-demand English subtitles and can be viewed using a DVD player or computer DVD-ROM drive.
