Summary:

The most general and obvious division of the history of philosophy is into ancient and modern; the former extending from the earliest times of which we have historic record to the Christian era; the latter embracing the course of philosophic thought within that era. For us, with the records and resources at our present command, the history of Ancient Philosophy must be chiefly that of Grecian philosophy. It is the first pure philosophy known to us, the first earnest attempt to reach by speculative inquiry the sources of knowledge and the causes of things, of which we have any full and satisfactory account. We then move to other schools of philosophy. These schools follow each other in the logical development of thought and in the main also chronologically, though not always strictly so.
