'''Modern philosophy''' is philosophy done in Europe and North America between the 17th and early 20th centuries. It is not a specific doctrine or school, (and so should not be confused with Modernism) although there are certain assumptions common to much of it, which helps to distinguish it from earlier philosophy.[1] | '''Modern philosophy''' is philosophy done in Europe and North America between the 17th and early 20th centuries.
