Opis

This book is an attempt to provide students and general philosophy readers with an introduction to the basic concepts and principles of classic, realistic philosophy. Without some grasp of its basic principles, it is impossible to understand either the history of modern philosophy or the present nature of Western culture. The method followed is critical and systematic rather than -historical.- In this book, the author presents the basic classical doctrines and arguments in simple language, and with modern illustrations for today's students. The doctrines are drawn from the greatest thinkers of the realistic tradition, including Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, and Aquinas.
