Of all the topics in the history of philosophy, the history of
different forms of thinking and contemplation is one of the most
important, and yet is also relatively overlooked. What is it to
think philosophically? How did different forms of
thinking-reflection, contemplation, critique and analysis-emerge in
different epochs? This collection offers a rich and diverse
philosophical exploration of the history of contemplation, from the
classical period to the twenty-first century. It covers canonical
figures including Plato, Aristotle, Descartes and Kant, as well as
debates in less well-known areas such as classical Indian and
Islamic thought and the role of speculation in twentieth-century
Russian philosophy. Comprising twenty-two chapters by an
international team of contributors, the volume is divided into five
parts: * Flourishing and Thinking from Homer to Hume * The Thinking
of Thinking from Augustine to Goedel * Images and Thinking from
Plotinus to Unger * Bodies of Thought and Habits of Thinking from
Plato to Irigaray * The Efficacy of Thinking from Sextus to
Bataille Thought: A Philosophical History is the first
comprehensive investigation of the history of philosophical thought
and contemplation. As such, it is a landmark publication for anyone
researching and teaching the history of philosophy, and a valuable
resource for those studying the subject in related fields such as
literature, religion, sociology and the history of ideas.
