The most significant and scholarly history of philosophy of the pre-Kantian era. Brucker's classic work is notable for its extensive scholarship, its coverage not only of ancient thought, but also medieval, Renaissance and early modern ideas. An immensely learned and detailed work, it was the principal authority up until the beginning of the 18th century and had a considerable influence on particular upon Kant and the French encylopedists. Enfield's aim was not to simply translate Brucker's classic work from Latin: not merely translation but representation.
