[lit-ideas] Re: early modern philosophy

This is forwarded from Jonathan Bennett, a distinguished philosopher, who has
retired to an island in British Columbia, presumably to contemplate the
unchanging forms and the changing sea. Bennett is the author of two books on
Kant, which I'm sure Richard Hennige has refuted line by line elsewhere. But
this might be a website worth keeping an eye on.

I have launched a new website (www.earlymoderntexts.com) containing 
versions of some classics of early modern philosophy, prepared with a view 
to making them easier to read while leaving the main arguments, doctrines, 
and lines of thought intact.  These versions are faithful to the content of 
the originals, but are plainer and more straightforward in manner. They are 
not dumbed down.  One graduate student wrote in his weblog about one of the 
texts: 'The arguments and even most of the turns of phrase are unchanged, 
but it's just plain easier to read.' To the best of my knowledge, no other 
student-friendly versions of early modern philosophy texts exist anywhere 
on the Internet.
