Description
Written by a distinguished international assembly of over 100 leading philosophers, this is the most authoritative and comprehensive dictionary of philosophy available today. This new, single-volume work provides accurate and exhaustive coverage of all the key concepts, doctrines, and schools of thought from both the Anglo-American and Continental philosophical traditions, from their Ancient beginnings to the present day. A unique feature of this dictionary is the powerful series of philosophical self-portraits by many of today's leading figures - including Sir Isaiah Berlin, W. V. O. Quine, Richard Rorty, John Searle and Peter Singer, amongst others. In addition, the volume includes an extensive system of cross-references and unique usage notes, as well as comprehensive and helpful guidance on pronunciation and etymology. Taken together, this stimulating and accessible volume provides the ideal reference for general readers, students and specialists.
