تاريخ الفلسفة: المرحلة الهلنستية والرومانية

عن الكتاب

The Hellenistic and Roman Age is the second part of Bréhier's great Histoire de la philosophie , originally published in the 1920's and '30's. Following The Hellenic Age , it completes Bréhier's account of the classical philosophers. The post-Aristotelian systems are taken up in this part - the Socratics, the Old Stoa, Epicureanism, Skepticism, Neo-Platonism, and Hellenism and Christianity. "Nothing is harder to disentangle than the history of intellectual thought," writers Bréhier. Yet he consistently separates the vital from the peripheral and illuminates the main trends of philosophical thought, from the emergence of the minor Socratics to the full flowering of Neo-Platonism.
