TY - BOOK AU - Enfield,William TI - The history of philosophy, from the earliest periods: drawn up from Brucker's Historia critica philosophiae SN - 1855068281 U1 - 109 PY - 2001/// CY - England PB - Thoemmes press KW - Philosophy N1 - 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. ER -
