Publisher's Synopsis
""History of English Thought in the Eighteenth Century"" is a two-volume work by Leslie Stephen, a prominent British literary critic and historian. The first volume covers the intellectual landscape of England during the 18th century, a period of great social, cultural, and political change. Stephen explores the major thinkers and ideas of the time, including the Enlightenment, the rise of empiricism, and the development of political liberalism. He also examines the impact of these ideas on literature, religion, and science, and the ways in which they shaped the modern world. This book is a comprehensive and insightful look at one of the most important periods in English intellectual history, and is an essential read for anyone interested in the development of modern thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
