From its Origins in  the\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eRenaissance to the `Historia philosophica'\u003c\/em\u003e (a translation  of a work published in 1981 in Italian - the bibliography has been  updated) gives a comprehensive description of the various forms and  approaches in the literature of the history of philosophy from the  fifteenth to the middle of the seventeenth century. Several traditions  are described, from the well known `prisca theologia' and `perennis  philosophia' traditions of Marsilio Ficino and Augustino Steuco, which  claimed that the Greeks got their philosophy from the East, to the  unknown influence of Scepticism on the history of philosophy by the  recovery of Sextus Empiricus, and the German Protestant critical  attack on Greek philosophy as Atheistic which was the tradition of the  history of philosophy out of which Leibniz developed. Each individual  historian of philosophy is given a separate entry which includes a  biography, a complete bibliography of his works, a description of his  history of philosophy and ends with both an assessment of his  reputation during his own time and a complete listing of recent  literature on him. As a result the substantial variety in the way the  history of philosophy was written and, with it, an overview of the way  western civilization developed is described in detail for the first  time.\u003cbr\u003e  For university history of literature, history of culture, history of  religion and history of philosophy classes. The book can be used both  for undergraduate courses (for specific reading assignments) and as  background material for graduate courses. The bibliography provides  important aids to many topics which have previously been almost  inaccessible.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1993-08-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792322009\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-8181-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 500.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44676791238796,"sku":"9780792322009","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792322009_dd29f24b-8522-4818-b6f7-815db2e98b96.jpg?v=1765470577","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792322009","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
