Description: A History of Philosophy (Book One: Vol. I - Greece & Rome; Vol. II - Augustine to Scotus; Vol. III -Ockham to Suarez)by Frederick Copleston, SJ. From the back cover:Here in one convenient volume are volumes, I, II, and III – complete and unabridged – of the acclaimed reference work that has dominated the field of philosophy for two decades. Volume I surveys the main currents in Greco–Roman thought from the pre-Socratic to Neoplatonism: e.g., Thales, Pythagoras, Heraclitus, Zeno, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. Medieval philosophy is the scope of Volume II, which includes the contributions of such eminent philosophers as Augustine, Saint Justin Martyr, Clement, Origin, Boethius, Bonaventure, Albert the Great, Thomas Aquinas, and Duns Scotus. Volume III focuses on the philosophy of the later Middle Ages and early Renaissance through a study of such thinkers as William of Ockham, Nicolas of Cusa, the speculative mystics, the political philosophers – e.g., Machiavelli and Thomas Moore – Francis Bacon, and Francis Suarez. These individual volumes have been held as "accurate and authoritative… sufficiently complete syntheses… warmly recommended… a remarkable achievement." Now available in a three-in-one paperback, it will be welcomed by students and scholars of ancient and medieval philosophy as a reference work that no library should be without.
