History Of Philosophy And Philosophical Education by Étienne Gilson
Argues that genuine philosophical understanding requires studying the discipline through its historical development, where enduring problems and concepts are forged and tested. It defends the close reading of primary texts and a realist orientation as the core of training, warning against abstract system-building and the illusion of linear progress. Outlining a curriculum grounded in context, method, and the great books—from antiquity through the medieval synthesis to modern debates—it aims to form sound judgment rather than mere doctrinal repetition.
