| Summary: | An in-depth philosophical reference work furnishes clear and reliable guidance on the ideas of philosophers, ranging from antiquity to the present day, and the major philosophical systems around the globe. "Oxford University Press presents a major new edition of the definitive philosophical reference work for readers at all levels. Since 1995 the original volume has served as a stimulating, witty, and sometimes controversial introduction for general readers and as an indispensable guide for students; its breadth and depth of coverage have ensured that it is also read with pleasure and interest by those working at a higher level in philosophy and related disciplines. A distinguished international assembly of 249 philosophers contributed nearly 2,000 entries, many of which have now been considerably revised and updated; to these are added over 300 brand-new pieces on a fascinating range of current topics." "This new edition offers enlightening and enjoyable discussions of all aspects of philosophy, and of the lives and work of the great philosophers, from antiquity to the present day."--BOOK JACKET. |
