Etat : Gut. XVI, 156 Seiten / p. leicht bestoßen, ansonsten tadelloser Zustand / slightly bumped, otherwise perfect condition - Proliferation of philosophic systems beyond the powers of most persons to find harmonies between them, let alone beyond some principle for unifying them, and even beyond hope of making more than a hasty, prejudiced choice of philosophy, is nothing new. The ablest thinkers, however, have found ways to make good use of this congeries. Both Plato and Aristotle, however differently, expanded and refined their own philosophies in order to make sound judgments on the opinions of markedly diverse forerunners, then to assimilate such uneven contributions into their own systems. Modern studies are well agreed that this diversity was as characteristic of the Dark and Middle Ages as it was of the classical period; and many were the encyclopedias and gammas seeking in one way or another to collect the scattered truths of their predecessors, placing them in new orders and modifying them appropriately in those imposing summaries of knowledge and wisdom. More recent efforts to bring about this harmony have foresworn any actual assembling of a new system built upon the foundation - or the rubble, as you prefer - of the old, separating an overview of philosophy from the composing of a system with its own battalions of details. Volumes on this prospective overview tend nowadays to be short books devoted to definitions of philosophy, classifications of its parts and its types, and, less often, resolutions of its partisan-in spired conflicts. The author of the present work uses this shorter format and brings a host of insights to the task of relating the philosophies that history has furnished.
