Sobre este artículo
Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1976. Eleventh printing. Paperback. Near Fine. Eleventh printing. Paperback. Bound in white paper with black text. From later antiquity down to the close of the eighteenth century, most philosophers and men of science and, indeed, most educated men, accepted without question a traditional view of the plan and structure of the world. In this volume, which embodies the William James lectures for 1933, Arthur O. Lovejoy points out the three principlesâplenitude, continuity, and graduationâwhich were combined in this conception; analyzes their origins in the philosophies of Plato, Aristotle, and the Neoplatonists; traces the most important of their diverse ramifications in subsequent religious thought, in metaphysics, in ethics and aesthetics, and in astronomical and biological theories; and copiously illustrates the influence of the conception as a whole, and of the ideas out of which it was compounded, upon the imagination and feelings as expressed in literature. 382pp.<br><br>CONDITION: Covers have light rubbing and discoloration. Pages are crisp and clean. Binding and text block are sound. Full refund if not satisfied.
