Books by Frederick Copleston

Theories of one ultimate reality exist in philosophies of both the East and the West, and in this book the author explores the approach that different philosophies have taken to the question of divine reality, with a special focus on the metaphysics of the One.

Copleston, an Oxford Jesuit and specialist in the history of philosophy, created his history as an introduction for Catholic ecclesiastical seminaries. The 11-volume series gives an accessible account of each philosopher's work, and explains their relationship to the work of other philosophers.
