Part 2 of the History of Philosophy. In the second part of his three-volume history of philosophy, Richard David Precht describes the development of Western thought from the Renaissance to the end of the Enlightenment. Knowledgeably and in detail, he connects the threads of the great questions of humanity and traces the unfolding of the most important ideas—from the flourishing merchant cities of Italy to the emergence of bourgeois societies in England, France, and Germany. He embeds philosophy within the political, economic, and social issues of the respective eras, making it accessible and engaging for a broader audience. An audiobook that helps provide a deep insight into the history of philosophy and organize one's thoughts. Read by Bodo Primus. (2 mp3 CDs, duration: 21h 25).
