Philosophy, medieval history and a book

16 Apr

I received for review and release the cover of the book being released by M Books Brazil, Anne Rooney: TheHistoryPhilosophyUma História da Filosofia (translate of The History of Philosophy), the author is a professor at Trinity College in Cambridge, and a master’s degree and doctorate in Medieval Literature, subject to few, and that almost always comes up against prejudices and judgments, being a member of various bodies such as the British Royal Literature Society.

Contrary to imagine the vain philosophy, literature and medieval philosophy is very rich and is not only religious, it was during this period that remade a rereading of all of Western thought foundation issues, and in times of crisis of thought, leia- in Edgar Morin your policrise and the crisis of thought, resume aspects of Metaphysics, Epistemology, Logic, Ethics and Aesthetics, should be taken up in a profound way in the human journey.

As it appears at the opening of the book: ask questions is essential, and the presentation “is concise explanations and in a large number of examples”, with the main attempts to answers asked by philosophers in our history.

As expected explores key aspects of philosophy both in metaphysics and in ethics, and is particularly interesting your resourcefulness of Science, Arts and Technology, very difficult to approach issues in contemporary times, in which it is already the author of several books.

It is a reading that can help reflection on questions of thought today.
