The text is designed as a textbook for students new to the field of philosophy, focusing on the major philosophical movements from ancient times through the medieval period. The work aims to provide a structured understanding of philosophical doctrines, their historical context, and their interconnections with geography and literary history, specifically tailored for beginners. The opening of the book outlines the author's intentions and strategies in teaching philosophy. Cushman emphasizes the importance of presenting philosophical doctrines in a simple and accessible manner, utilizing tools such as summaries and footnotes to aid memory and understanding. He introduces the three main periods of philosophical history—Ancient, Mediæval, and Modern—and discusses how these periods have shaped humanity's reflective life. Furthermore, he explores the idea that understanding these philosophical traditions requires a perspective that incorporates the historical and geographical context in which they evolved, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of figures like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle in the chapters to come.
