Abstract

The Error of Philosophy
Vivas, Eliseo | February 19, 1938 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "The Unity of Philosophical Experience" by the author Etienne Gilson. Gilson's newest book is a most exciting history of philosophy. For it is written not only by a superb scholar--perhaps the greatest living historian of medieval philosophy--but by a self-avowed dogmatist with an ax to grind and by a brilliant writer ruthlessly malicious toward what he takes to be the chief source of error of Western thought. The book is a mordant study of some of the chief turning-points in the development of philosophy.
