As a universal history of philosophy, the history of philosophy must become one great unity.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
History should be written as philosophy.
The great philosophers and the great works are standards for the selection of what is essential. Everything that we do in studying the history of philosophy ultimately serves their better understanding.
The history of philosophy is not, like the history of the sciences, to be studied with the intellect alone. That which is receptive in us and that which impinges upon us from history is the reality of man's being, unfolding itself in thought.
History is Philosophy teaching by example.
Philosophy is tested and characterised by the way in which it appropriates its history.
Without philosophy, history is always for me dead and dumb.
Everything must be recaptured and relocated in the general framework of history, so that despite the difficulties, the fundamental paradoxes and contradictions, we may respect the unity of history which is also the unity of life.
Philosophy is altogether less pure now. It's been impurified by science and social science and history.
The history of mankind is the history of ideas.
The history of philosophy is to a great extent that of a certain clash of human temperaments.
