S E C O N D E D I T I O N

Widely acclaimed as the most authoritative and accessible one-volume

dictionary of philosophy available in English (and now with translations

into Chinese, Italian, Korean, Russian, and Spanish forthcoming), this

work is now in a second edition offering an even richer, more comprehensive,

and more up-to-date survey of ideas and thinkers, written by an

international team of 440 contributors.

Key features of this second edition:

• The most comprehensive entries on major philosophers

• 400 new entries including 50 on preeminent contemporary philosophers

• Extensive coverage of rapidly developing fields such as the philosophy

of mind and applied ethics (bioethics and environmental, medical,

and professional ethics)

• More entries on non-Western and non-European philosophy than

any comparable volume, including African, Arabic, Islamic, Japanese,

Jewish, Korean, and Latin American philosophy

• Broad coverage of Continental philosophy
