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
Gödel • 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.
