Joseph Freedman: Academic Philosophy during the 16th and 17th Centuries

Schematic and tabular expositions were a common feature within sixteenth und seventeenth-century high-school and university teaching, a practice that Professor Freedman’s volume re-enlives by re-interpreting and at the same time embedding primary sources into a wider context by means of diagram¬s, tables and pictures. The introductory overview on European academic philosophy considers very clearly the question of how one should proceed when studying certain themes in order to gain a structured oversight.
