5.0 out of 5 stars Compact but packed with useful details, 8 Jan 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: A Dictionary of Philosophy (Paperback)
As a mature philosophy student this book has been invaluable in my studies. With clear and relevant cross-references it guides the user easily to all relevant information on any philosophical subject. Patience is needed sometimes, though, when a cross-reference directs the user to a very lengthy piece, usually biographical, in order to find the material being sought.
On the whole a valuable reference book for any budding philosopher and for those more experienced in the discipline.
Good value for money, and even an interesting book to dip into with a cuppa to find out just 'what it's all about'!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable, 8 Mar 2004
This review is from: A Dictionary of Philosophy (Paperback)
This book is remarkably useful as an aid to the study of philosophy. Its huge range of entries include short biographies of important philosophers, definitions of terms, full descriptions of key arguments including problems with them, and very useful cross-references. The articles, though short, manage to be impressively detailed and informative in the short spaces afforded each of them. Some of them, though, are a little too technical, without giving a good enough general explanation - the entry on QUANTUM THEORY is a prime example, and many of the entries on subjects to do with logic or the forms of arguments are also offenders. In addition, while the original works of philosophers are mentioned, rarely if ever are suggestions made for further reading - something that would have been very welcome. For slightly more easy to understand, longer entries, including more general essays and excellent references to further reading, I recommend The Oxford Companion to Philosophy, edited by Ted Honderich. Impressively, though, A Dictionary of Philosophy does not only include philosophical entries, but also mentions several areas of mathematics and the sciences. In summary, then, it is an excellent reference text, and at the price one that every student of philosophy should own, but one which is not sufficient on its own to learn the subject from.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pan Dictionary Of Philososphy, 26 Sep 2003
By Dr. W. Creed (Basse Normandie) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Dictionary of Philosophy (Pan reference books) (Paperback)
Many years ago as an undergrad studying Literature & Philosophy I encountered this book. It is probably one of the better philosophy dictionaries on the market. The explanations are clear and concise (and for a philosophy dictionary that is high praise indeed!) Whilst it is in need of updating to embrace current trends (and it would be nice to have an hardback edition) it is a must-have on the shelf next to the more modern philosophical reference books.
