Synopsis

To understand the history of philosophy means understanding the mind and work of individuals thousands of years and miles and cultures distant from the reader. Daniel Smitherman presents one way to further that understanding, by taking a deep dive into Owen Barfield's seminal work of phenomenology of history, Saving the Appearances. The author then shows how the core ideas of Barfield, and the wider field of phenomenology, bring intelligibility to an otherwise baffling, or misleadingly simple, legacy of human thinking across the globe and through the centuries.
