Product Description

Product Description
On its first appearance in 1960, J.O. Urmson's Concise Encyclopedia of Western Philosophy and Philosophers established itself as a classic. Its contributors included many of the leading philosophers of the English-speaking world: Ryle, Hare, Strawson, Ayer, Dunnett, Williams and many others. They wrote with authority and individuality which made the Encyclopedia into a lively and engaging introduction to philosophy as well as a convenient reference work. For this completely new edition, now out in paperback for the first time, the original articles have been revised and updated, and eighty articles by thirty one new authors have been added. The additions take account of recent developments in philosophy, of literary and historical and political issues in philosophy, and of developments in continental thought, including Marxism, psychoanalysis, phenomenology, existentialism, structuralism, post-structuralism and deconstruction. An old classic has been given a new lease of life.

5.0 out of 5 stars For the PhiLOSTophers., 16 Nov 2003
By Örn Leifsson (Reykjavik Iceland.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This book was first published in 1960 and later completely revised in 1989, my version is a reprint from 1992.

As the title says it's a Concise Encyclopedia, it is about 330 pages so the entrys are short, but they are good, reasonably clear and to the point.

I used this book a lot when studying Philosophy, the good thing about this Encyclopedia is that not only does it cover Philosophical terms but also Philosophers and their main theories, and it is Cross referenced with Bold type.

So it's a good basic Encyclopedia, And it worked well for me and continues to do so.
