Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Short History of Philosophy
I have endeavoured to indicate the salient features rather than to give an exhaustive account of the successive systems of philosophy, and have attempted to Show the place and in?uence of each in the evolution of thought.
I have included in the History an account of some German writers who, though not strictly regarded as philosophers, have exercised a powerful in?uence upon speculative thought as well as upon general culture. I have also devoted a larger space to English and Scottish thinkers than is usually assigned to them in German histories. Finally, I have sought to add to the value of the book by giving a r�sum� of the progress of thought in our own country and on the Continent in the nineteenth century, and by bringing the history of philosophy down to our own day.
