An Illustrated Brief History of Western Philosophy, ch. 20
In this chapter we are introduced to "three modern masters" none of which I would have readily attributed to Philosophy. Darwin is a scientist who, though having a tremendous impact on scientific naturalism, is a scientist. I appreciate the perspective of this book that Darwin was not seeking to disprove God as many assume. The second is a Cardinal, John Henry Newman. I had not heard of this theologian-cleric before, but I was particularly interested in his development of Faith, Reason and Knowledge. I would like to read more. Finally, this chapter deals with Sigmund Freud known for his controversial work in psychology. Though he considered himself a psychologist, he was properly a theorist of practical and moral philosophy.
