Copleston's History of Philosophy
Author(s): Frederick Copleston
This work is a one volume condensation of Frederick Copleston's magnificent nine volume "History of Philosophy", and includes within its compass the subsequent volumes by Copleston on Russian Philosophy and Contemporary Philosophy. "Copleston's History" continues to be recommended throughout the English speaking world on account of its outstanding clarity. It still has no rival as an introduction to the Western philosophical tradition and this one-volume version will introduce it to a wider readership, taking account of educational levels today. Appealing to a very much wider audience than the nine volumes published as "A History of Philosophy" between 1940 and 1970 this volume will make an ideal individual purchase for the student or general reader. It will also amend and update especially the early volumes, subjected to ecclesiastical censorship. Copleston's work on the philosophy of the history of philosophy forms the basis of the introduction, and a postscript on later trends as well as a glossary of philosophical terms is included.
