A History of Philosophy Volume 11: Logical Positivism and Existentialism

Product Description

A History of Philosophy Volume 11 provides a detailed and objective introduction to the movements of Logical Positivism and Existentialism. These highly controversial areas of thought dominated philosophy in Europe for much of the last century. They also still exert an influence today. This book explores the work of many of the most important thinkers of the twentieth century, including Ayer, Wittgenstein, Heidegger, Sartre and Camus.

Frederick Copleston was a Professor of the History of Philosophy and Dean of the Faculty of Theology at London University. This eleven-volume work is one of the most remarkable single-handed scholarly enterprises of modern times. Brimming with detail and enthusiasm, A History of Philosophy gives an accessible account of philosophers from all eras and explains their works in relation to other philosophers.
