A History of Philosophy Volume 1: Greece and Rome

Product Description

A History of Philosophy Volume 1: Greece and Rome traces the major developments in Greek and Roman thought to provide an essential guide to classical philosophy. After its beginnings in Asia Minor, classical philosophy culminated in the writings of the two great philosophers: Plato and Aristotle. Later, through Neoplatonism, Greek and Roman philosophical tradition exercised a great influence on the formation of Christian thought.

Frederick Copleston was a Professor of the History of Philosophy and Dean of the Faculty of Theology at London University. This eleven-volume work is one of the most remarkable single-handed scholarly enterprises of modern times. Brimming with detail and enthusiasm, A History of Philosophy gives an accessible account of philosophers from all eras and explains their works in relation to other philosophers.
