Reviews
'The Cambridge History of Philosophy in the Nineteenth Century (1790-1870) has done an admirable job in presenting diversity without taking any partisan point of view with regard to any supposed essence in that century. Accordingly, this book is a welcome addition to the library of any scholar interested in the nineteenth century.' Dennis Vanden Auweele, Philosophischer Literaturanzeiger 'It is often said about a book that 'it will become a standard reference' for people working in a philosophical field of study ... The Cambridge History of Philosophy in the Nineteenth Century is one of those rare cases for which that saying actually holds. Spectacular in its form and content, this massive volume of almost a thousand pages covers various aspects of the development of European philosophy in the period from 1790 to 1870 ... a whole a truly invaluable tool (a 'standard reference') for anyone studying or researching the enormously complex 19th-century philosophical landscape ... [this book] is a monumental scholarly achievement and deserves to be wholeheartedly applauded for the amazingly rich information it offers the student of 19th century philosophy. The two editors have done a brilliant job in organizing a massive amount of material, and the authors of the twenty-eight essays have, with absolutely no exception, produced first-rate results.'
