Course: Philosophy of Modern Era. The discovery of modernity

11 April, 2023

Artem Besedin's online lecture course on the history of European philosophy of Modern era.


The course presents an intellectual portrait of each of the key figures of the XVII-XVIII century, including the theoretical and practical philosophy of the thinker, his views on ethics and politics. The course covers three broad topics that have defined the intellectual landscape of modernity: the search for the ideal scientific method in Bacon and Descartes, the New European rationalism of Descartes, Spinoza and Leibniz, the British empiricism of Locke, Berkeley and Hume. The philosophy of T. Hobbes and his famous "Leviathan" stand apart in this row.
