"The thirteen essays in this edition comprise a complete survey of the golden age of English philosophy. The anthology begins in the early seventeenth century with Francis Bacon's comprehensive program for the total reorganization of all knowledge; it culminated, some two hundred and fifty years later, with John Stuart Mill. The thinkers represented here are the creators of the twentieth-centuryworld ... With an introduction as well as nine biographical prefaces by Edwin A. Burtt."Tags
