This page is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Arthur Frank Holmes (March 15, 1924 – October 8, 2011) - who was one of the greatest philosophy professors of all time.

This page contains the complete series of lectures from Dr. Arthur F. Holmes' influential course, "A History of Philosophy" … which deserves to be spread as far as possible. I wish to thank Wheaton College for contributing this course to the Lost Telecourses collection.

Arthur Frank Holmes (March 15, 1924 – October 8, 2011) was an English philosopher who served as Professor of Philosophy at Wheaton College in Illinois, U.S., from 1951 to 1994. He built the philosophy department at Wheaton where he taught, wrote about the philosophy of Christian education, and participated in the creation of the Society of Christian Philosophers.[1] Wheaton College President Philip Ryken said "It would be hard to think of anyone who has had a greater impact on Christian higher education than Arthur Holmes."[2] Holmes died in Wheaton, Illinois, on October 8, 2011, at age 87.[3][4]

A native of Dover, England, Holmes came to the United States in 1947 after serving in the Royal Air Force during World War II.[4] He earned a bachelor's degree (1950) and a master's degree (1952) in Bible and theology[2] from Wheaton College and a Ph.D. in philosophy from Northwestern University in Chicago (1957).[5]

Holmes began teaching at his Alma Mater while still pursuing his graduate degrees and remained there for his entire 43-year career. He was involved in convincing the college to establish a philosophy department independent of the Bible and theology division,[1] and he served as the chair of that department for more than two decades.[5] He started the annual Wheaton Philosophy Conference in 1954, which eventually led to the creation of the Society of Christian Philosophers in 1978.[6] He taught the year-long history of philosophy course for the philosophy major (made available online in 2015).[7] Holmes retired in 1994 and was named Professor Emeritus; he continued to teach occasionally.[3]

This Series of Lectures begins in Ancient Greece - where Philosophy was 'Invented' - and goes through to the end of the 20th Century C.E. … comprehensively covering the 15 or 16 century time span of this subject: from it's very beginning - up until our 'Modern' Times.
