Sample Ebooks

Descartes by Andre Gombay
Call Number: Ebook
ISBN: 9780470706701
Publication Date: 2008-06-09
"A bold and insightful departure from related texts, Descartes goes beyond the categorical associations placed on the philosopher's ideas, and explores the subtleties of his beliefs. An elegant, compelling and insightful introduction to Descartes' life and work. Discusses a broad range of his most scrutinized philosophical thought, including his contributions to logic, philosophy of the mind, epistemology, metaphysics, the philosophy of science, and the philosophy of religion. Explores the subtleties of Descartes' seemingly contradictory beliefs. Addresses themes left unexamined in other works on Descartes."
Immanuel Kant by Otfried Höffe; Marshall Farrier (Translator)
Call Number: Ebook
ISBN: 9780791420942
Publication Date: 1994-09-08
"In this book, Hoffe gives a clear, understandable description of Kant's philosophical development and influence, and he sets forth Kant's main ideas from the Critique of Pure Reason and the ethics to the philosophy of law, history, religion, and art. In his critical treatment, Hoffe shows why Kant's philosophy continues to be relevant and challenging to us today."
John Stuart Mill by Nicholás Capaldi
Call Number: Ebook
ISBN: 9780521620246
Publication Date: 2004-01-12
"Nicholas Capaldi's biography of John Stuart Mill traces the ways in which Mill's many endeavours are related and explores the significance of Mill's contribution to metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, social and political philosophy, the philosophy of religion, and the philosophy of education"
Neither Angel nor Beast: The Life and Work of Blaise Pascal by Francis X. J. Coleman
Call Number: Ebook
ISBN: 9780415822572
Publication Date: 2013-04-10
"The book shows how his life, philosophical thought and literary style can best be understood in the light of the paradoxical view of human nature. It covers the methods of argument and the central issues of the Provincial Letters and of the Pensées; the Introduction places Pascal's thought in the religious and political climate of seventeenth-century France, and a 'Chronology of the Life of Pascal' is also included."
