		The attempt to represent the philosophy of a specific historical period in a unitary fashion is an increasingly difficult task to pursue.
		Post-Hegelian philosophy, which we could unify under the label of an 'anthropological turn,' would have tried to do justice to an immense pretence regarding the possibilities of human reason and would have cleared the way for itineraries of thought which are closer to a 'human scale,' even allowing for their diversity and opposition.

		The preceding philosophy is reproached with the fact that in it God is supposed to have been determined not as spirit but only as substance.

		The intrusive philosophy, here, tends to rely, not upon science as such, but upon "scientific theory" as its first principle and is therefore bound to it; and laid open to the charge that, as I have remarked, it exists primarily as a justification of that opinion in which it is rooted.

	Early Modern Philosophy
		The Modern period in Western philosophy is an era sandwiched between the Renaissance in Europe and the last half of the nineteenth century.
		Its scope and shape were profoundly affected by the cultural and intellectual currents that preceded it and in one way or another, the disparate strands of contemporary philosophy are all either descendants of it or reactions against it.
		Most of the philosophers we will look at thought of their views on those topics as outgrowths of the epistemological and metaphysical accounts they offered, so this course can be thought of as a grounding in the details that underlie those other views.
