Reception

Philosopher and theologian Benedict M. Ashley compared Copleston's A History of Philosophy to some of the most famous histories of philosophy including Gilson's as follows: "Some histories of philosophy, like the admirable one of Frederick Copleston, only attempt to give an accurate account of various philosophies in their general historical setting. Others, like Bertrand Russell in his absurd History of Western Philosophy or Etienne Gilson in his brilliant The Unity of Philosophical Experience proffer an argument for a particular philosophical position."{{Cite journal|last=Ashley|first=Benedict M.|date=2003|title=The Four Ages of Understanding: The First Postmodern Survey of Philosophy from Ancient Times to the Tum of the Twenty-First Century by John Deely (review)|journal=The Thomist: A Speculative Quarterly Review|language=en|volume=67|issue=1|pages=133–137|doi=10.1353/tho.2003.0041|s2cid=172062857|issn=2473-3725}}
