Product Description
Review
'More than 30 years after the publication of The Encyclopedia of Philosophy comes this new set that is likely to be the definitive encyclopedia of philosophy for the next generation.' -- Booklist
Product Description
The Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy is the most ambitious international philosophy project in many years. Edited by Edward Craig and assisted by thirty specialist subject editors, the REP consists of ten volumes of the world's most eminent philosophers writing for the needs of students and teachers of philosophy internationally. The REP is a project on an unparalleled scale:
- Over 2000 entries ranging from 500 to 15,000 words in length - thematic, biographical and national
- 10 volumes consisting of over 5 million words of text plus considerable bibliographic material
- A Chief Editor and thirty specialist Subject Editors from across the world
- Over 1200 authors from all over the world.
The importance of the REP is not to be found just in the sheer size of the project but also in its breadth of subject matter. It covers:
- The core of most Anglo-American philosophy - the metaphysical, epistemological and logical questions
- The usual menu of ethics, political philosophy and the history of philosophy
- The philosophy of other cultures - from Chinese, Arabic and Jewish philosophy to the philosophy of Africa and Latin America
The most impressive range of authors have been gathered together on this unique project: William Alston, Roderick Chisolm, Fred Dretske, Joel Feinberg, Sandra Harding, Larry Laudan, Martha Nussbaum, Richard Popkin, Richard Rorty, Alan Ryan, Gyatri Chakravorty Spivak, Stephen Stich, Patrick Suppes and Bernard Williams, to name just a few.

If for no other reason to comprehend the strands of Chinese, Japanese and Indian thought this collected works exceeds in erudition and perspicacity more specialised texts. The breadth of its coverage is such as to satisfy any student of philsophy and a good deal of theology students also. Should be mandatory reading for all leaders in business and public affairs... should make for a nicer, kinder World !

This is the best Encyclopedia of Philosophy I have ever used. So thorough and well cross-referenced! I would love to be able to purchase this series one volume at a time for my own use. THIS is the series of books I would want to have were I stranded on a desert island.

A most ideal and perfect choice, the "ROUTLEDGE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PHILOSOPHY" will enhance and finely tune all the theories and ideas of human importance. As well as give a multi-cultural and unified perspective of ideas not seen before in any previous texts of this magnitude.
