History of Philosophy: A Critical Analysis of Unresolved Disputes

NOW IN AUDIOBOOK!

In History of Philosophy, Dr. Gangadean critically examines what several prominent philosophers have said about what is basic and clear. He considers how and why they differed from others and what influences they had. Among the philosophers examined are the views of the Presocratics, Plato and Aristotle, Nagarjuna and Buddhist philosophy, Augustine (and Augustinians such as John Calvin and Alvin Plantinga), Shankara and Advaita Vedanta philosophy, Ramanuja and Dvaita Vedanta philosophy, Thomas Aquinas, Rationalism (including Rene Descartes, Baruch Spinoza, and Gottfried Leibniz), Empiricism (including John Locke, George Berkeley, and David Hume), Immanuel Kant, Georg Hegel, Existentialism (including Soren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Albert Camus), Postmodernism, and Critical Theory. The author confines himself to what each says about what is basic – about the possibility of knowledge, what is reason, what is real, and what is the good. In doing so, he hopes to make it clear that disputes arise from unexamined basic beliefs and that, upon examination, the truth about what is basic is clear.
