Wblakesx I've been long interested in a history of mind. There is much I've picked up along the way on the evolutionary lead up to man, placed much heightened scrutiny on some keys. I wanted this set for Every long time but only bought them a few years ago. Since then I've slowly sunk into them, trying to work out the meanings of some terms & so forth. Finally I feel fairly comfortable with the work. Afew years back there was almost nothing on the web about C but it's beginning to fill out a little.
I came across a wee tidbit that is very important to really getting C. He said that his work really built on Hegel! That the problem with H is that he started too High, that one needed to get to the levels under H to fill out H's system... Down to the origins and development of Mind. Among the approaches are child development,anthropology, archaeology, biological developments, game of survival systems & etc. Thankfully I cracked Hegel not too long ago. Together they represent a very grand scheme indeed.
Fortuitously I have been working over Sister Miriam Joseph's, "Trivium" for awhile too... and see get's underneath logic to tether it to language... Grammar in very important ways. So several takes on language and well developed, though simple, systematic logic. All this has opened up some incidental insights into scholasticism, empiricism, and humanism as divergent ontological/epistemological systems...on several levels.
