Encyclopaedia of Modern Scholastic Philosophy

Cardinal Mercier’s A Manual of Modern Scholastic Philosophy is a standard work, prepared at the Higher Institute of Philosophy, Louvain. The work contains a clear, simple, and methodological exposition of the principles and problems of every department of philosophy, and its appeal is not to any particular class, but broadly human and universal. This four-volume manual covers all the major facets of scholastic philosophy. After an in-depth introduction to the study of philosophy, Mercier breaks down the study of scholasticism into eight major subjects. Each subject gets its own introduction and comprehensive treatment. Volume 1 & 2 include a general introduction to Philosophy and sections on Cosmology, Psychology, Criteriology, and Metaphysics or Ontology. Volume 3 & 4 contain sections on Natural Theology, Logic, Ethics, and outlines of the History of Philosophy.
