English version forms aT hird Edition of our Histoire de laP hilosophic Mddidvale, of which the first French edition appeared in 1900 and the second in 1905. The general plan of the second edition has been preserved unchanged :our aim being to place in their proper historical setting the numerous philosophical systems of theM iddle A ges and to trace their mutual doctrinal relations. The intimate connections of the medieval with the ancient Grecian philosophies are becoming daily more evident: notably the importance of Neo-P latonic influences has been proved by recent works, published since 1905. This affords us a further justification for approaching the history of medieval philosophy by an introductory outline of Grecian philosophy regarded from the special standpoint of the influence of some of its systems and theories on philosophical speculation in theM iddle A ges. So, too, it is only in their relations with the latter that we deal with the philosophies of the Renaissance period. The. second edition of the present work has been pretty widely noticed :while expressing our thanks to those with whom it has found favour, we wish at the same time to state that we have endeavoured to profit as far as we could from the criticisms of all. The various sections have been enlarged by the addition of the main results achieved in monographs and general works published since 1905.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
