Bacon to Kant : An Introduction to Modern Philosophy, Second Edition ReviewI've been teaching Modern Philosophy to undergraduates for a number of years. As anyone who has taught this period knows, trying to make the issues and arguments clear to beginning students of philosophy using only the primary texts is extremely difficult (and if we can remember back far enough to when we were in the students' seats in Modern Philosophy, we probably recall not making much sense of the primary texts either!). Thomson's book is an excellent secondary (supplemental) text to the primary texts. The chapters and subheadings are divided well, and his explanations are exceedingly clear and accessible to beginners. Another text well suited for this purpose is Richard Francks' MODERN PHILOSOPHY: THE SEVENTEENTH AND EIGHTEENTH CENTURIES (McGill-Queen's UP). But unlike Francks, Thomson includes philosophers not typically taught in a Modern Philosophy course (namely Bacon, Hobbes, and Kant) which is helpful. Also, I have found that Thomson's book more easily coordinates with primary readings than does Francks'. In any case, Thomson's book is a superb companion for reading along with the primary philosophical texts of the Modern period, and I highly recommend it to students and to teachers.Bacon to Kant : An Introduction to Modern Philosophy, Second Edition Overview
