nofootnotes date May 2011 Early modernphilosophy is a period in the history of philosophy at the beginning or overlapping with the period known as modernphilosophy . The early modern period in history is roughly 1500 1800, but the label early modernphilosophy is sometimes used to refer to a more specific period of time. In the narrowest sense, the term is used to refer principally to the philosophy of the 1600s, posited to have begun with Ren Descartes to have included Thomas Hobbes , Blaise Pascal , Baruch de Spinoza and to have ended with Leibniz , Isaac Newton or Spinoza . Many would stretch this period one generation further, thus including David Hume , John Locke , and George Berkeley . The term is sometimes used more broadly and considered to have begun in the 1500s with Niccol Machiavelli , Martin Luther and John Calvin to have also included Michel Eyquem de Montaigne , Francis Bacon , Giambattista Vico , Voltaire and Thomas Paine and to have ended at the latest in 1804 with the death of Immanuel Kant . Considered in this way, the period spans from Renaissance philosophy to the Age of Enlightenment .
