The Blackwell Dictionary of Western Philosophy

The Blackwell Dictionary of Western Philosophy

???The style is fresh and engaging, and it gives a broad and accurate picture of the western philosophical tradition. It is a pleasure to browse in, even if one is not looking for an answer to a particular question.???
David Pears

???Its entries manage to avoid the obscurities of an exaggerated brevity without stretching themselves out, as if seeking to embody whole miniature essays. In short it presents itself as a model of clarity and clarification.???
Alan Montefiore
