Haren (history, U. College, Dublin) traces the evolution of thought through the European Middle Ages, seeing it as a combination of the classical heritage, a new religious orientation, and new social structures. He outlines how Platonism, Aristotelianism and the Arabic philosophical tradition were received and adapted in the western schools and universities. Includes a supplementary bibliography and commentary on scholarship since the 1985 first edition. Paper edition (unseen), $19.95. Acid paper. Annotation c.
