History of Philosophy and its Relationship with Theology

New edition of "Introduction to Philosophy."

Alfonso Ropero guides us through more than two thousand years of fruitful dialogues, connecting timelines referring to the past and discovering some future consequences of human thought, theology, and other topics developed in this work. It also condenses three elements that can challenge the current hegemony of irrationalism, nihilism, and individualism: philosophy, Christian thought, and history. "The present study is guided by truth." We are invited to this pilgrimage, a path that can only be entered through the door of humility. It is a work with a conciliatory and balanced tone. This work dedicates much of its energy to explaining and dissecting concepts from some of the most important philosophers and theologians in history; one should not think that it is merely a catalog of names or ideas; at the heart of this effort is the author's own existential and philosophical meditation, who seems to find in the history of philosophy an excuse to embark on a journey to his own questions and answers. One of the great successes of this volume is the inclusion of textual quotes from the different authors discussed. These literal fragments have the virtue of placing us in the cultural and historical world inhabited by their writers. This is key because "each philosophy, all philosophy, starts from a situation and is only intelligible from that situation.
