History of Modern Philosophy is a classic philosophy history text by Alfred William Benn. For a thousand years after the schools of Athens were closed by Justinian philosophy made no real advance; no essentially new ideas about the constitution of nature, the workings of mind, or the ends of life were put forward. It would be false to say that during this period no progress was made. The civilisation of the Roman Empire was extended far beyond its ancient frontiers; and, although much ground was lost in Asia and Africa, more than the equivalent was gained in Northern Europe toward the birth of modern philosophy.

Early Greek Philosophy by Alfred William Benn is a comprehensive introduction to the origins of Western philosophy. The book covers the period from the 6th century BCE to the 5th century BCE, which is considered the early period of Greek philosophy. Benn examines the ideas and contributions of the major Greek philosophers, including Thales, Anaximander, Anaximenes, Pythagoras, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Zeno, Empedocles, Anaxagoras, and Democritus. The author explores the philosophical questions that these thinkers posed, such as the nature of reality, the existence of the universe, and the role of human beings in the world. Benn also discusses the impact of Greek philosophy on subsequent philosophical and intellectual traditions, including the works of Plato and Aristotle. The book is written in clear and accessible language, making it an ideal resource for students and anyone interested in the history of philosophy.1908.
