HISTORY

CRITICAL

OF ECLECTICISM.

VOLUME ONE.

A "critical history" in the 18th century was not merely a list of dates, but an analytical evaluation of the truth and logic behind historical ideas.

Eclecticism refers to a philosophical method that does not adhere to a single school of thought, but instead selects and combines the most sound doctrines from various traditions, such as those of Plato, Aristotle, or the Stoics.
