Philosophy: Encyclopedias

Long neglected and unappreciated, the philosophy of the Greek and Roman worlds--from the last days of Aristotle (c. 320 BC) until 100 B.C.--has over the last decade received a considerable amount of renewed scholarly attention. This history is organized by subject, rather than chronologically or by philosophical school, with sections on logic, epistemology, physics and metaphysics, ethics and politics.

Surveys philosophy from the neo-Platonists to St Anselm, showing how Greek philosophy took the form in which it was known to its cultural inheritors and how they interpreted it.

The volume follows on chronologically from The Cambridge History of Later Greek and Early Medieval Philosophy, though it does not continue the histories of Greek and Islamic philosophy but concentrates on the Latin Christian West. Unlike other histories of medieval philosophy that divide the subject matter by individual thinkers, it emphasizes the parts of more historical and theological interest.

Comprising over sixty specially commissioned essays by experts on the philosophy of this period, this anthology is designed to be accessible to non-specialists. The first part traces the history of philosophy from its remarkable flowering in the 1870s through to the early years of the twentieth century.
