the most comprehensive dictionary of philosophy in English

Times Literary Supplement

A very useful and handy dictionary with clearly written notices, which focus on the essential aspects. It should belong to the bookshelf of any student or scientist interested in the impact of philosophical questions. I shall recommend it for the part of my course devoted to the nature of science.

Bernard Leyh, University of Liäge

Entries include over 400 biographies of famous and influential philosophers, in-depth analysis of philosophical terms and concepts, and a chronology of philosophical events stretching from 10,000 BC to the present day. New entries on philosophy of economics, social theory, neuroscience, philosophy of the mind, and moral conceptions bring the third edition of this dictionary fully up to date. Fully cross-referenced and containing over 3,300 alphabetical entries, it is the ideal introduction to philosophy for anyone with an interest in the subject, and it is an indispensable work of reference for students and teachers.
