The book "History of European Classical Philosophy" is a collection of lectures by Prof. Stefan Swieżawski, who shared his knowledge of the history of philosophy over 30 years of his post-war teaching activity. The author focuses on European philosophical thought from its beginnings to the 15th century, analyzing key issues and figures that shaped this period. Swieżawski defines classical philosophy as the love of wisdom, in which metaphysics occupies a central place. According to the author, it is metaphysics that forms the foundation of classical philosophy, which begins to be gradually marginalized in later eras.

In his book, Swieżawski shows the process of the evolution of philosophy, in which metaphysics loses its key role in favor of other disciplines such as ethics and epistemology. The author analyzes the reasons for this phenomenon and its consequences for the development of European thought. At the same time, Swieżawski draws attention to the slow renaissance of metaphysical reflection in the 20th century, which gives hope for a revival of classical philosophy. This book is not only a compendium of knowledge, but also an inspiration for a deeper understanding of philosophy and its role in our lives.
