    About The Empiricists

    The rise and fall of British Empiricism is philosophy’s most dramatic example of pushing premises to their logical–and fatal–conclusions. Born in 1690 with the appearance of Locke’s Essay, Empiricism flourished as the reigning school until 1739 when Hume’s Treatise strangled it with its own cinctures after a period of Berkeley’s optimistic idealism. The Empiricists collects the key writings on this important philosophy, perfect for those interested in learning about this movement with just one book.
