A History of Philosophy is an ideal guide for philosophy students studying specific eras and offers a complete and unrivalled overview of the entire western philosophical tradition. The influence of the Enlightenment has been long argued over to the point where some have rejected its claims for rational thought. In his sixth volume, Frederick Copleston examines the Enlightenment in France and Germany.
