ABSTRACT
Modern philosophic thought can be fully understood only in the light of Mediaeval thought. Now, Mediaeval thought, through Cicero and other Latin writers, through the Fathers, and through the continuations of Neo-Platonism, took on the heritage of Greek thought. For Greek thought had its own middle age, which prepared and determined our own Middle Ages, and an old age which nevertheless bore within it the presage of a revival of speculation.
