Abstract

Professor Hirschberger’s two–volume History of Philosophy has in a few years established itself as a general text–book for the European undergraduate student—only an expert can simplify the whole course of European thinking without distortion and expound it comprehensively in its main principles and systematic developments without cramming the reader with indigestible facts and without failing to stimulate his intelligent communion with the past. The Bruce Publishing Company display their customary enterprise in publishing an English edition very soon and in securing an easy, simple version from Father Fuerst which conveys unmistakably the personal tang of the German original.
