| dc.description.notes | Seven centuries ago Roger Bacon could lament the neglect of moral philosophy by the scholars of his age, adding rucfully: "But the books on this science by Aristotle and Avicenna, Seneca and Tullius and others, cannot be obtained except at great cost, both because the principal works are not translated into Latin and because copies of the others are not found in the usual schools or elsewhere." It is perhaps remarkable that what Baeon held to be true of his situation should also be applicable in part to our age, which has labored more than any other at the task of recovering all kinds of information about every conceivable period and civilization, and which has the further advantages of rapid translation and cheap printing. Everyone knows that the political philosophy that developed in Greece first spread throughout the classical world and, at some later date, penetrated into the three monotheistic religions, which among them commanded the allegiance of almost all men living between the Indus and the North Atlantic. Some people know that the encounter between political philosophy and revealed religion manifested itself in different ways in Islam, Judaism, and Christianity; but the study of these noteworthy confrontations has, by and large, been limited to the case of Christianity. This narrowing of the field of investigation is, in our judg-ment, regrettable. We believe that this judgment would be concurred in, above all, by the Christian scholasties themselves, who were diligent students of the works of many of the Muslims and Jews represented in this volume. These Christians wrote with a deep awareness of the work of those who, loosely speaking, might be regarded as their counterparts in Islam and Judaism. For one reason or another the mutual interest that figured so prominently in the medieval concourse of scholars waned. | en_US |
