Eriugena, Berkeley and the Idealist Tradition is a collection of
original essays presented at an international conference held in
Dublin in 2002 and subsequently revised in light of discussions at
the conference. As Stephen Gersh and Dermot Moran explain in their
introduction, this book asks the question: What do philosophers
mean by "idealism?" According to Gersh and Moran, the question of
idealism is a difficult one, not only because of the historical
complexity of the term "idealism" as they have sketched it but also
because understanding of the phenomenon is dependent upon the
observer's own philosophical persuasion. The essays in this volume
take up the question of "idealism" in the history of philosophy
from Plato, through late ancient and medieval thought, to Berkeley,
Kant, and Hegel. Although there are obvious discontinuities among
these versions of idealism, the degree of continuity is sufficient
to justify a reexamination of the entire question. The contributors
cover a wide range of philosophical writers and texts to which the
label "idealism" has been or might reasonably be attached. These
include Plato, the Roman Stoics, the Neoplatonism of Plotinus,
Augustinian Neoplatonism, Johannes Scottus Eriugena, the Arabic
Book of Causes, George Berkeley, Immanuel Kant, and classical
German idealism. The contributors, senior scholars internationally
acknowledged in their fields, include Vasilis Politis, John Dillon,
Vittorio Hosle, Gretchen Reydam-Schils, Andrew Smith, Jean Pepin,
Dermot Moran, Stephen Gersh, Agnieszka Kijewska, Peter Adamson,
Bertil Belfrage, Timo Airaksinen, Karl Ameriks, and Walter
Jaeschke.
