Classification

This series is divided into more than sixty sections. There are eight main sections, which are subdivided into several subsections. In his article Classifications of Philosophy, The Sciences, and the Arts in Sixteenth- and Seventeenth-Century Europe (In: The Modern Schoolman, LXXII, November 1994), Joseph S. Freedman writes: One aspect of the history of philosophy which has received relatively little attention is how the philosophy concept itself has been classified into parts and how these classifications have evolved over the centuries. […] Classifications of philosophy during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries have been almost completely neglected; during those two centuries the manner in which philosophy - and related concepts such as the arts, the sciences, and encyclopedia - was divided into parts underwent some significant changes. Based on his research on this subject prof. Freedman has divided this series into the sections and subsections mentioned above. Prof. Freedman has worked in over 200 libraries and archives in Europe and the United States to select titles for each (sub)section. A large part of these titles will be published in this series.
