An Büchern zur Philosophiegeschichte besteht weiß Gott kein Mangel. Und so ist August Messers philosophiehistorischer Abriss in 5 Bänden eben nur einer von Dutzenden lesbaren Versuchen, einen ersten Überblick über die Ideenwelt des Abendlandes zu bieten. Statt den Leser auf ausgedehnte philosophische Exkurse mitzunehmen, bleibt er auf dem Hauptweg und präsentiert uns die Geschichte der Philosophie in ihren Hauptströmungen und wichtigsten Repräsentanten. Diesem Konzept bleibt er auch im zweiten Teil zur Philosophie im Mittelalter treu.
