Inhaltsangabe
This classic study by a distinguished scholar surveys the major philosophical trends and thinkers of a vital period in Western civilization. Based on Maurice DeWulf's celebrated Princeton University lectures, it offers an accessible view of medieval history, covering scholastic, ecclesiastic, classicist, and secular thought in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. From Anselm and Abelard to Thomas Aquinas and William of Occam, it chronicles the influence of the era's great philosophers on their contemporaries as well as on subsequent generations.
An overview of feudal Europe examines the rising spirit of the age, in which the concept of the value and dignity of the individual attained a growing acceptance. The thirteenth century's philosophical great awakening is profiled in terms of the development of universities at Paris and Oxford, and the establishment of mendicant orders such as the Dominicans and Franciscans. The study concludes with a discussion of the influence of medieval philosophical systems on later Western societies and the pedagogical value of scholasticism to modern philosophy. An indispensable reference, this volume is essential reading for students of history and philosophy.

Princeton University, on the Vanuxem Foundation, was prepared, during theW ar, at the Universities of Harvard, Poitiers, and Toronto. Certain portions of the work, relatively few, have already appeared in the form of articles, viz.: part of Chapter I in the Revue de Mttaphysique et de Morale, July, 1918; Chapter IV, ii, in the Philosophical Review, July, 1918; Chapter V, iii, in the International Journal of Ethics, January, 1919; Chapter III, ii, and Chapter VII, i-v, in the Harvard Theological Review, October, 1918. These now take their place as integral parts of what may be regarded as a supplement to my History of Mediaeval Philosophy. The purpose of the study as here presented is to approach theM iddle A ges from a new point of view, by showing how the thought of the period, metaphysics included, is intimately connected with the whole round of Western civilization to which it belongs. My work represents simply an attempt to open the way; it makes no pretense to exhaustive treatment of any of the innumerable problems involved in so vast a subject.
