Sir Anthony Kenny continues
his magisterial new history of Western philosophy with a fascinating
guide through more than a millennium of thought from 400 AD onwards,
charting the story of philosophy from the founders of Christian and
Islamic thought through to the Renaissance.The middle ages saw a great
flourishing of philosophy, and the intellectual endeavour of the era
reaches its climax in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, with the
systems of the great schoolmen such as Thomas Aquinas and John Duns
Scotus.
Specially written for a
broad popular readership, but serious and deep enough to offer a
genuine understanding of the great philosophers, Kenny's lucid and
stimulating history will become the definitive work for anyone
interested in the people and ideas that shaped the course of Western
thought.
Readership: General readers and students interested in philosophy or
the history of human thought.
