Recensioner i media

This reviewer can think of no better book for students about to enter graduate school in analytic philosophy, or indeed for anyone with some knowledge of the field who needs a general guide to fill in the gaps.The volume has obvious competition--free, peer-reviewed resources exist online covering the subtopics of philosophy. Thus it needs to justify its nontrivial price tag, and it does.The pitch of the articles is more historical and the articles themselves are more readable than those in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, and more in-depth than those in The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Summing Up: Highly Recommended.
