This bibliography provides a record of the most important works on philosophy published around the world between 1976 and 1992. Major emphasis is on works appearing up to the end of the Cold War. The volume includes entries for nearly 4,000 books and monographs. Many of the entries include brief descriptive annotations, particularly in those cases where the contents of a work are not clear from the title. The annotations also indicate special features of the works cited, such as extensive bibliographies. The bibliography is divided into regions and then into countries of the world. Included are works from Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, the South Pacific, and the Americas. A separate section contains entries for works that cross national and geographic boundaries. The work covers all fields of philosophy, including emerging new ones. A great strength of the work is its author and subject indexes.
