Volume 3
Late Medieval and Renaissance Philosophy
This third volume of Copleston’s A History of Philosophy covers the fourteenth to the early-seventeenth centuries. In this important period there was the breaking of the link between philosophy and theology – beginning with the work of Ockham. As the growth of empirical science led to the philosophical explosion of the renaissance, the discovery and adventure in the physical world was reflected by the changes in philosophy.
