Early modern philosophy refers to the period of Western philosophy that emerged in the 17th and 18th centuries, following the Renaissance and spanning the Age of Enlightenment. 

This era witnessed a shift in philosophical focus from the predominantly theological and metaphysical concerns of medieval philosophy to a greater emphasis on reason, science, and the human experience. Key themes during this period include epistemology, metaphysics, political philosophy, and the nature of human knowledge.
