Rationalists, The : Descartes - Discourse on Method, Meditations; Spinoza - The Ethics; Leibniz - The Monadology, Discourse on Metaphysics
Outline: In the middle years of the seventeenth century, philosophy sprang forward into its modern era. The motivating mind behind the revolution in metaphysical thought was that of Rene Descartes, who brought philosophy both a new spirit and a new method, and thereby founded the school that came to be known as rationalism. Contained in this volume are the five works, in their entirety, that present the essential statements of rationalism's three greatest figures: Descartes, who began it; Spinoza, who epitomized it; and Leibniz, who gave it its last serious expression.
