	MEDIEVAL PHILOSOPHY: INTRODUCTION
		Philosophy in the medieval style continued into the late seventeenth century; Descartes and Leibniz cannot be well understood without some knowledge of medieval thought.
		Philosophy was of course a study for gentlemen, but the humanists thought it should be carried on in relaxed style in dialogues, essays or letters, not in laborious 'scholastic' genres such as the treatise, disputed question or commentary on a text.
		The distinctness of philosophy as a discipline did not mean that there were two truths; the conclusions of philosophy were expected to be consistent with the truths of religion.

	17th-century philosophy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Western Philosophy, the modern period is usually taken to start with the seventeenth century — more specifically, with the work of René Descartes, who set much of the agenda as well as much of the methodology for those who came after him.
		The seventeenth century in Europe saw the culmination of the slow process of detachment of philosophy from theology.
		Kant was to classify his predecessors into two schools: the Rationalists and the Empiricists, and Early Modern Philosophy (as seventeenth- and eighteenth-century philosophy is known) is often characterised in terms of a supposed conflict between these schools.

	Age of Enlightenment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The boundaries of the Enlightenment cover much of the 17th century as well, though others term the previous era "The Age of Reason." For the present purposes, these two eras are split; however, it is equally acceptable to think of them conjoined as one long period.
		The Age of Enlightenment refers to the 18th century in European philosophy, and is often thought of as part of a larger period which includes the Age of Reason.
		Another important movement in 18th century philosophy, which was closely related to it, was characterized by a focus on belief and piety.

	Historical Women of Philosophy
		Furthermore, the traditional application of philosophy is tied to a set of values, methods, and self-definitions which have excluded women.
		However, because womanless history is a distortion of the past which serves to justify the status quo, women philosophers are challenging mainstream philosophy to cease evaluating itself according to the standards set by men.
		Because philosophical work attributed to women has been devalued, and therefore not included in recognized works, the traditional history of philosophy is a history of men’s ideas.

	The Rise of Experimental Psychology
		The suggestion from Ribot that 18th century philosophy culminated in the work of Kant was probably not an unreasonable one; although it might be an even fairer appraisal of Kant's influence to say that 19th and 20th century philosophy followed Kant much as the earlier philosophy had followed Descartes.
		In one version of this story that can be traced back at least to Ribot (1879), the epistemology of the 17th and 18th centuries culminated in the work of Kant, who denied the possibility that psychology could become an empirical science on two grounds.
