This is the third volume of Models of the History of Philosophy, a
collaborative work on the history of the history of philosophy
dating from the Renaissance to the end of the nineteenth century.
The volume covers a decisive period in the history of modern
thought, from Voltaire and the great "Encyclopedie" of Diderot and
d'Alembert to the age of Kant, i.e. from the histoire de l'esprit
humain animated by the idea of progress to the a priori history of
human thought. The interest of the philosophes and the Kantians
(Buhle and Tennemann) in the study and the reconstruction of the
philosophies of the past was characterized by a spirit that was
highly critical, but at the same time systematic. The material is
divided into four large linguistic and cultural areas: the French,
Italian, British and German. The detailed analysis of the 35 works
which can be considered to be "general" histories of philosophy is
preceded and accompanied by lengthy introductions on the historical
background and references to numerous other works bordering on
philosophical historiography.

Models of the History of Philosophy. From its Origins in the
Renaissance to the `Historia philosophica' (a translation of a work
published in 1981 in Italian - the bibliography has been updated)
gives a comprehensive description of the various forms and
approaches in the literature of the history of philosophy from the
fifteenth to the middle of the seventeenth century. Several
traditions are described, from the well known `prisca theologia'
and `perennis philosophia' traditions of Marsilio Ficino and
Augustino Steuco, which claimed that the Greeks got their
philosophy from the East, to the unknown influence of Scepticism on
the history of philosophy by the recovery of Sextus Empiricus, and
the German Protestant critical attack on Greek philosophy as
Atheistic which was the tradition of the history of philosophy out
of which Leibniz developed. Each individual historian of philosophy
is given a separate entry which includes a biography, a complete
bibliography of his works, a description of his history of
philosophy and ends with both an assessment of his reputation
during his own time and a complete listing of recent literature on
him. As a result the substantial variety in the way the history of
philosophy was written and, with it, an overview of the way western
civilization developed is described in detail for the first time.
For university history of literature, history of culture, history
of religion and history of philosophy classes. The book can be used
both for undergraduate courses (for specific reading assignments)
and as background material for graduate courses. The bibliography
provides important aids to many topics which have previously been
almost inaccessible.

This is the fourth volume of Models of the History of Philosophy, a
collaborative work on the history of the history of philosophy
dating from the Renaissance to the end of the nineteenth century.
The volume covers the so-called Hegelian age, in which the approach
to the past of philosophy is placed at the foundation of "doing
philosophy", up to identifying with the same philosophy. A
philosophy which is however understood in a different way: as
dialectical development, as hermeneutics, as organic development,
as eclectic option, as a philosophy of experience, as a progressive
search for truth through the repetition of errors... The material
is divided into four large linguistic and cultural areas: the
German, French, Italian and British. It offers the detailed
analysis of 10 particularly significant works of the way of
conceiving and reconstructing the "general" history of philosophy,
from its origins to the contemporary age. This systematic exposure
is preceded and accompanied by lengthy introductions on the
historical background and references to numerous other works
bordering on philosophical historiography.
