What is this?

The pages here are an attempt to introduce the interested to some of the major themes of Western philosophy in the Modern period.

They grow out of a lecture course, called with appropriate enigma, 211, and suffer I'm afraid from the gauchness of presenting material designed in the first place for one medium through a very different one. This is being addressed, but it will take time. Meanwhile, maybe there is something useful in the pages in their hybrid state, even to those who have not had the dubious benefit of attending the lectures from which the pages have sprung.
