Summary note

"This is the second volume of M. Cousin's "Course of the History of Modern Philosophy." The first volume (see record 2008-07477-000) contains a summary of Cousin's views in regard to humanity and history. The course which comprises the last two volumes of this series gives the history of philosophy from the earliest times; the distinct classification it makes of systems; the brief, yet intelligible, glimpses it affords into the interior of every school, whether ancient or modern, together with the detailed analysis of Locke: in a word, the singular union of the more sober criticism of the psychological school, with occasional flights into the higher regions of metaphysical analysis, all concur."
