Product Description
A History of Philosophy Volume 2: Medieval Philosophy deals with the reconciliation of philosophy and theology of the early Christian period to the thirteenth century. The author first covers the Patristic period, including the work of Augustine. He then considers the Carolingian renaissance and Islamic and Jewish philosophy. Finally, he also goes into extensive detail on the thought of Aquinas and Scotus.
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.
Memoria Press believes that philosophy is one of the core pillars of a classical Christian education. Starting at an early age, our classical core curriculum teaches all students to reason well about foundational things. This includes our popular Traditional Logic, Material Logic, and Rhetoric programs. Each of these programs teach the original thinking skill with an easy-to-use format. Understanding philosophy and how it develops students’ perspective and behavior in the world around them is essential to education.
