Detailed explanation-1: -The modern period of philosophy begins in the 17th century. This course is an introduction to some of the key elements in the thought of some of the great philosophers of this period: Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Hobbes, Locke, Hume, Berkeley, Kant, Marx, and Wittgenstein.

Modern philosophy was a transition away from theological thought and earlier Aristotelian thinking.
