## Description

‘A definitive work…explains clearly and succinctly concepts and theories at the heart of European and American philosophy.’ - Brenda Almond What do philosophers mean by 'absolute' and 'akrasia'? What are 'Polish notation' and 'prime matter'? What contributions to human thought were made by Plato, Machiavelli, Kant and Derrida? These questions and many more are answered by this illuminating dictionary, which draws on contributions from over 100 leading philosophers.

Review: Good book. Helpful. - Gives easy to understand definitions of most of the Western philosophy terms. Not useful for Indian philosophy terms though.
Review: An excellent reference book. - This is a book which should be purchased by anyone interested in philosophy. All the major philosophers and their theories are covered in it. It is an ideal philosophy resource book for students as well as phillsophy enthusiasts.
