Condition: Excellent, dust jacket - good, worn at corners

The book by the famous English historian of philosophy Frederick Charles Copleston is an outstanding phenomenon in philosophical medieval studies. First published in 1972, it still has no equal in its compactness, richness of material and accessibility of presentation. F. C. Copleston gives a broad picture of Western European theological and philosophical thought of the Middle Ages and includes in the book good reviews of Muslim and Jewish medieval philosophy. He views the philosophy of the Middle Ages as an integral part of the Western European tradition. Analyzing this or that phenomenon of medieval thought, F. C. Copleston tries to take into account its historical and cultural context. The book is interesting for both specialists and non-specialists, who will find a lot of new and useful things in this serious and at the same time intelligible narrative.
