Light water damage to edge. xxvi, 337 p., 22 cm. "Remains a uniquely readable introduction to the interests and outlooks of the great Western thinkers from Plato to Ockham. Its aim is to show the essential connection between the thought of the medieval schools of philosophy and that of the Greek philosophers, as it was mediated to the medieval world by the Neoplatonists, St. Augustine, and the Arabian and Jewish thinkers of the early Middle Ages." "Richard A. Macksey was a celebrated Johns Hopkins University professor whose affiliation with the university spanned six and a half decades. A legendary figure not only in his own fields of critical theory, comparative literature, and film studies but across all the humanities, Macksey possessed enormous intellectual capacity and a deeply insightful human nature. He was a man who read and wrote in six languages, was instrumental in launching a new era in structuralist thought in America, maintained a personal library containing a staggering collection of books and manuscripts, inspired generations of students to follow him to the thorniest heights of the human intellect, and penned or edited dozens of volumes of scholarly works, fiction, poetry, and translation."-Johns Hopkins Universityy.
