This best-selling dictionary is written by one of the most famous philosophers of our time, and it is widely recognized as the best dictionary of its kind. Comprehensive and authoritative, it covers every aspect of philosophy from Aristotle to Zen. With clear and concise definitions, it provides lively and accessible coverage of not only Western philosophical traditions, but also themes from Chinese, Indian, Islamic, and Jewish philosophy. Entries include over 500 biographies of famous and influential philosophers, in-depth analysis of philosophical terms and concepts, and a chronology of philosophical events stretching from 10,000 BC to the present day. The first edition of this dictionary became a market-leader and a standard work of reference, selling over 100,000 copies. Now the author, Professor Simon Blackburn, has revised it to include web links which provide up-to-date and valuable extra information via the Dictionary of Philosophy companion website. Fully cross-referenced and containing over 3,000 alphabetical entries, it is the ideal introduction to philosophy for anyone with an interest in the subject, and it is an indispensable work of reference for students and teachers.

very short dictionary
Reviewed in Italy on 12 June 2017Verified Purchase
I was looking for a dictionary for my CLIL lessons, but I find it very short and easy, in comparison with the Italian one (Dizionario Garzanti di Filosofia).

Definitely a great but and a necessity if you are taking philosophy
Reviewed in the United States on 25 February 2016Verified Purchase
This dictionary definitely helps me in my philosophy class. It has a soft cover and is cheaper here than anywhere else. Definitely a great but and a necessity if you are taking philosophy. The book came super fast and was a fantastic buy. It features so many terms and they are put in a way my philosophy book does not put it. Sometimes you just need an actual book instead of using the internet to look up the words. Sometimes you get something you were not looking for. The answer is this book, it came super fast and I had it for my next class. Impress your teacher by buying this book and showing him that you are dedicated.

Man braucht nicht das neue "Oxford D of P" zu kaufen, es gibt kaum noch neue Begriffe, die definiert werden müssten!
