The Historical Development of Idealism and Realism
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 February 2009
Extract
The whole of humanity has developed in two circles,—an ante-Christian circle, which encompassed the Oriental, Greek, and Roman world; and a post-Christian circle, which is in its principal philosophical elements exclusively Teutonic. The different religious systems of the East culminated in Greek idealism; whilst the spiritual movement of Christianity brought us through the theologico-realistic and nominalistic phases to the culture of modern realism.
