The Rationalists is a 1988 book by the philosopher John Cottingham, in which the author offers an overview of the most important exponents of rationalism, namely René Descartes, Baruch Spinoza and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.[1] Other thinkers, such as Nicolas Malebranche, are also dealt with.
Reception
Robert Imlay, of the University of Toronto, found—that for its limited aims and intended audience — the book was a "real tour de force" and thought that it would make the good base to structure an undergraduate course on the rationalists.[1]
