| Résumé : |
'The aim of this book is to make a survey of the main tninKers and intellectual movements of western thought of the past thousand years, with a view to showing how they affect Christian belief.. . . Inevitably,such an undertaking will partake of something of the character of a Who's Who. This is intentional. But unlike the latter work I have not refrained from commenting on what seem to me to be the strengths and weaknesses of the person or movement concerned.'
To write a book which appeals both to the philosophy student and to the less informed reader is not an easy task. But Colin Brown combines a non-technical, often amusing style with a scholarly mastery of the significance of philosophical trends and their relation to his faith. The student will benefit from the wide picture given by this up-to-date survey and will make use of the detailed Notes on Books for further information. The general reader will finish the book informed, entertained and stimulated to further study. |
