About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Philosophy and Civilization in the Middle Ages by Maurice de Wulf. Read in English by LibriVox Volunteers. The purpose of the study as here presented is to approach the Middle Ages from a new point of view, by showing how the thought of the period, metaphysics included, is intimately connected with the whole round of Western civilization to which it belongs. My work represents simply an attempt to open the way; it makes no pretense to exhaustive treatment of any of the innumerable problems involved in so vast a subject. - Summary by Preface
