The Confidence of British Philosophers: An Essay in Historical Narrative
Series: - Studies in the History of Christian Traditions, Volume: 17
Author:
'Quinn's book is very stimulating, informative and provocative. Seeing the course of philosophical movements as moral dramas may help in providing another and an important perspective, may lead to our having somewhat less confidence in these movements as possible ways to truth.'
Richard H. Popkin, Journal of the History of Philosophy.
'Quinn's truly fine 'essay in historical narrative' is more accurately a morality play in four acts. The book is a study of four major British philosophical movements: the Newtonians, the Utilitarians, the Oxford Hegelians, and the group consisting of G.E. Moore, Bertrand Russell, and Alfred North Whitehead.'
James E. Force, History of European Ideas, 1981.
'Instructive for what it says and for the manner in which the author says it...entertaining and exciting reading.'
Leonard T. Grant, Church History, 1980.
