Publisher's Synopsis
The book ""Theories Of Macrocosms And Microcosms: In The History Of Philosophy"" was written by George Perrigo Conger in 1922. This book is a detailed exploration of the concept of macrocosm and microcosm in the history of philosophy. The author delves into the various theories and ideas that have been put forth by philosophers throughout history regarding the relationship between the larger universe (macrocosm) and the individual human being (microcosm).The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different time period or philosopher. Conger begins with the ancient Greeks and their idea of the universe as a harmonious whole, with each individual part (including humans) playing a specific role. He then moves on to medieval philosophy and the idea of the universe as a reflection of God's divine order.The author also explores the Renaissance period and the emergence of humanism, which placed greater emphasis on the individual and their relationship to the universe. He then moves on to the Enlightenment and the rise of scientific rationalism, which challenged traditional ideas about the relationship between humans and the universe.Overall, ""Theories Of Macrocosms And Microcosms"" is a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of a fundamental concept in philosophy. Conger's writing is clear and accessible, making this book an excellent resource for anyone interested in the history of philosophy or the relationship between humans and the universe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
