Details about Understanding Rationalism Understanding Movements in Modern Thought:
The three great historical philosophers most often associated with rationalism - Descartes, Spinoza and Leibniz - opened up ingenious and breathtaking vistas upon the world. Yet their works are so difficult that readers often find themselves stymied. "Understanding Rationalism" offers a guide for anyone approaching these thinkers for the first time.With clear explanations, elegant examples and insightful summaries, "Understanding Rationalism" unlocks their intricate metaphysical systems, which are by turns surprising, compelling and sometimes bizarre. It also lays out their controversial stances on moral, political and religious problems. The study is framed by an opening discussion of the broad themes and attitudes common to these three philosophers and a closing analysis of the legacy they left for the rest of philosophy.

I have a Master's degree (MA) in Political Science focusing on political theory and public law. I graduated top of my class (Magna Cum Laude) and wrote my Master's thesis on education. I have been teaching at a prestigious private school the last ten years. Both students and parents have expressed their gratitude and praise regarding my teaching style. The student/teacher relationship does not stop when class ends, and parents particularly have appreciated the care I take to promote student success in and outside the classroom. Most of my students have an eye toward either politics, the law, or teaching upon graduating college. Read more
