Handbook Of The History Of Philosophy

The Handbook of the History of Philosophy by Albert Schwegler is a comprehensive guide to the development of philosophical thought from ancient times to the mid-19th century. The book is divided into four parts: Ancient Philosophy, Medieval Philosophy, Modern Philosophy, and Recent Philosophy. Each part covers a range of philosophical schools, including Platonism, Aristotelianism, Stoicism, Epicureanism, Scholasticism, Rationalism, Empiricism, Idealism, and Romanticism. Schwegler provides a detailed analysis of each philosophical school, its key concepts, and its major figures, including Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas, Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Kant, Hegel, and Schopenhauer. He also explores the historical and cultural context in which each school emerged, tracing the influence of religion, politics, and social factors on philosophical thought. The Handbook of the History of Philosophy is a valuable resource for students and scholars of philosophy, providing a comprehensive overview of the major philosophical schools and their development over time.
