Etienne Gilson was a French philosopher and historian of philosophy.
“Invaluable for those who are concerned with the teaching of
medieval philosophy or for those who are interested in research in
medieval philosophy. Scholarship of a very high order is revealed
everywhere in this work but the manner in which the author
transcends mere scholarship and captures in a comprehensive grasp
the grand perspectives of the medieval tradition in philosophy is
the work of philosophical genius.” – Franciscan Studies
""A comprehensive analysis of philosophical thought from the second
century to the fifteenth century, from the Greek apologists through
Nicholas of Cusa. This work is Gilson's magnum opus.""—Jounral of
the History of Ideas
""The title conveys precisely how Professor Gilson approaches his
material. This is a history of philosophy, but of the philosophy of
Christians who employ and adapted the ideas of classical philosophy
in constructing a rational view of the world in harmony with
Christian thought.""—The Philosophical Quarterly
