Abstract: A classic work, Erdmann's History of Philosophy (1890) covers Ancient, Medieval and Modern Philosophy, ending with the German post-Hegelians of the first half of the nineteenth century. It is a history with a difference -- Erdmann's supreme achievement was to not content himself with mere summarizings of opinions, but to exhibit the history of human thought as a continuous and ever-developing effort to solve the great speculative problems which have confronted man in all ages.Translated from the revised third German edition by a team of British and American philosophers, this history when first published in 1890 filled a great gap in English philosophical literature. With useful bibliographies at the end of each section, it remains a much-used philosophy sourcebook to this day.
