Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Ancient and Medieval Philosophy Perhaps no period in civilization has ever been so rich in specula tive, boldness and penetrating cosmic insight __as the great per_iod of Greek philosophy. It appears that the Greeks were naturally curious and inquisitive about the nature of life and the structure of the uni verse; consequently philosophers like Democritus, Aristotle, and Plato observed all aspects of existence and were occupied with problems which not merely dealt with ethical ideals but also gave a synthesis of human knowledge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Medieval Philosophy But medieval philosophy deserves attention and study not only for historical reasons, because it forms an integral part of the history of European philosophy, but also for its own sake. Although the approach and the setting may be different in different periods, the same, or at least similar, philosophical problems inevitably tend to recur. And even though philosophy is not equivalent to the accumulation of particular facts or items of knowledge which increase in number as the years go on, one is not entitled to assume in advance that the medieval discussions of philosophical problems are worthless, simply be cause they took place so many centuries ago. Some philosophers would, indeed, say that the methods and aims of the thirteenth-century metaphysicians were mistaken. But that, whether true or false, is a philosophic assertion which is itself Open to question. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Medieval Philosophy, Vol. 1: From the Beginnings to the End of the Twelfth Century Throughout, De Wulf has defended the following views. First, he holds that in the Middle Ages there was a Scholastic Philosophy, distinct from Scholastic Theology. No-one questions that to-day, but it was a new idea when De Wulf first put it forward. The second point is that, in the Scholastic Philosophy of the Middle Ages, we can trace a common doctrine, which he calls the Scholastic Patrimony, and of which Thomism was only one form. This idea has met with more criticism than the other, but De Wulf has, in our opinion, successfully vindicated it. Thirdly, in the later editions of his work, De Wulf has brought out the close relations existing between Scholastic Philosophy and the development of civilization and art in medieval times. He has set forth these ideas in greater detail in a separate work, based on lectures he gave at the University of Princeton, and published there under the title Philosophy and Civilisation in the Middle Ages.

Download or read book Philosophy and Civilization in the Middle Ages Classic Reprint written by Maurice Marie Charles Joseph de Wulf and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophy and Civilization in the Middle Ages is an interesting examination of the Middle Ages in world history via the thorough analysis of Maurice Marie Charles Joseph De Wulf. A philosopher, and a professor of philosophy at the Catholic University of Leuven, De Wulf was one of the pioneers of the historiography of medieval philosophy. This book is primarily comprised of lectures that De Wulf delivered at Princeton University for the Vanuxem Foundation to further the study of the Middle Ages. De Wulf's primary goal in this text is to approach the Middle Ages from a new point of view, specifically by examining the philosophical beliefs in different civilizations during this time period. De Wulf begins his book by establishing the context of the Middle Ages for the reader, including the major civilizations present on the European scene during that period in time. The author then explores the "Great Awakening of Philosophy" in the thirteenth century - offering a complete study on both causes and effects of this major event. The major factor De Wulf credits with inspiring this shift in human thought and belief is the rise of Universities and increased access to education, primarily in Paris and Oxford. By exploring changes in philosophical thought, De Wulf also makes connections to what he calls "human progress" or progress in science, morals, and social and political justice. Philosophy and Civilization in the Middle Ages provides an interesting argument for the rise of philosophy and how this shift improved general societal conditions during the Middle Ages. This is a great book for any reader intrigued by philosophy, the Middle Ages, and the growth of civilizations. This book also holds significant gems of information for readers with only a passing interest in these topics.

Download or read book Medieval Philosophy written by Peter Adamson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-09-26 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Adamson presents a lively introduction to six hundred years of European philosophy, from the beginning of the ninth century to the end of the fourteenth century. The medieval period is one of the richest in the history of philosophy, yet one of the least widely known. Adamson introduces us to some of the greatest thinkers of the Western intellectual tradition, including Peter Abelard, Anselm of Canterbury, Thomas Aquinas, John Duns Scotus, William of Ockham, and Roger Bacon. And the medieval period was notable for the emergence of great women thinkers, including Hildegard of Bingen, Marguerite Porete, and Julian of Norwich. Original ideas and arguments were developed in every branch of philosophy during this period - not just philosophy of religion and theology, but metaphysics, philosophy of logic and language, moral and political theory, psychology, and the foundations of mathematics and natural science.

Download or read book St Thomas Aquinas and Medieval Philosophy Classic Reprint written by D. J. Kennedy and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-13 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Thomas Aquinas and Medieval Philosophy The revived interest in Scholastic philosophy, which received such a powerful impetus from the publication of the zeterni Patris by Leo XIII, in 1879, far from abating, continues to in crease. In ecclesiastical circles the works of Saint Thomas are of prime importance, especially since Pope Pius X. In his Letter against Modernism (1907) and in the Doctoris Angelici decreed that Scholastic philosophy according to the mind and method of St. Thomas should be the basis for the theological studies which are to be a safeguard and bulwark against modernis tic errors and tendencies. The new Code of Canon Law imposes on all professors of philosophy and theology the obligation of adhering religiously to the doctrine and principles of St. Thomas. The Angelic Doctor was the greatest of many men who cultivated reason and used it in the defence and explanation of Christian truth. Many volumes would be required to give a comprehensive review of thirteenth century conditions and of his in uence on medieval thought, and the following pages do not pretend to give such a complete and comprehensive review. It is hoped, how ever, that they will serve to explain, in a brief and summary manner, the in uence of St. Thomas on medieval philosophy, thereby creating a desire for deeper study of that important period. For those who intend to pursue ecclesiastical studies some knowledge of conditions prevailing in the Scholastic period is essential, since without this knowledge they will find it im possible properly to appreciate the work of the great Scholastic doctors. A11 cannot be told in one book, but even a short history of that period, with mention of the principal errors which the Scholastics were called upon to combat, will add to our gratitude for the services rendered by those enlightened and valiant de fenders of the Faith. The matter is treated in a popular way, so that from the sketches given even the ordinary reader can form a fairly accurate conception of the position that St. Thomas holds in the history of medieval philosophy. For the benefit of those who may wish to make a deeper study of this subject there is added a bibliography, which will be found especially helpful to beginners.

Download or read book Medieval Thought written by David Edward Luscombe and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1997 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Middle Ages span a period of well over a millennium: from the emperor Constantine's Christian conversion in 312 to the early sixteenth century. During this time there was remarkable continuity of thought, but there were also many changes made in different philosophies: various breaks, revivals and rediscoveries. David Luscombe's history of Medieval Thought steers a clear path through this long period, beginning with three great influences on medieval philosophy: Augustine, Boethius, and Pseudo-Denis, and focusing on Alcuin, then Anselm, Abelard, Aquinas, Ockham, Duns Scotus, and Eckhart amongst others from the twelfth to the fifteenth century. Medieval philosophy is widely regarded as having a theological and religious orientation, but more recently attention has been given to the early study of logic, language, and the philosophy of science. This history therefore gives a fascinating insight into medieval views on aspects such as astronomy, materialism, perception, and the nature of the soul, as well as of God.
