Summary "A Beginner's History of Philosophy, Vol. 2: Modern Philosophy" by Herbert Ernest Cushman is an educational textbook written in the early 20th century. This volume provides an overview of modern philosophy, focusing on its historical context, key philosophical developments, and prominent thinkers from the Renaissance to the present. The book aims to serve as a comprehensive introduction for students studying philosophy, emphasizing the evolution of thought in relation to geographical and political factors. The opening of the text sets out the pedagogical intent of the volume, clarifying that it is designed primarily for students rather than educators. Cushman outlines the significant challenges faced when studying modern philosophy, particularly its complexity compared to ancient and medieval thought. He presents a brief overview of the modern philosophical periods, establishing a framework that includes the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and early modern philosophy, indicating that this text will explore philosophical movements shaped by evolving human understanding and socio-political changes. By encouraging students to confront their own interpretations alongside established philosophical trends, Cushman sets the stage for a richer exploration of modern philosophical discourse.
