together to provide authoritative exposition of how historys most important philosophical thinkers - from antiquity to the present day - have sought to analyse the concepts and tenets central to Western religious belief, especially Christianity. Volume 1 comprises an introduction, presenting an overview of Ancient philosophy of religion, and a series of essays on Ancient philosophers, including Pythagoras, Constantinos, Socrates, Xenophon, Plato, Cicero, Plotinus, Augustine, Proculs, Pseudo-Dionysius, Epicurus and Aristotle. Each essay opens with a brief biography, outlines and analyses the philosophers contribution to thinking on religion, and concludes with key further reading. The volume closes with a chronology, presenting a contextual guide to the main religious, political, cultural and artistic events of the period. This volume is an excellent tool for those undertaking research in this area. |
