Studies in the History of Philosophy and Religion, Vol. 1
Harry Austryn Wolfson
This collection brings together essays previously published in widely dispersed journals and books. The articles range over Aristotle and Plato; Philo; the Church Fathers; and Arabic, Jewish, and Christian philosophers of the Middle Ages: Averroes and Avicenna, Maimonides, and Thomas Aquinas. The twenty-eight pieces are arranged in such a manner that ideas develop and are pursued from one article to the next, forming a coherent whole.
