Synopsis
"Depth and breadth of coverage, clarity of presentation, impressive bibliographies, excellent use of cross references, and an extensive index combine to make this an impressive reference work. The contributors have addressed both current and past scholarship on world philosophy and religion and have produced a worthy successor to Macmillan's 1967 Encyclopedia of Philosophy. It will be read and understood by the educated public as well as scholars and will be a fine addition to academic and large public library reference collections."--"Outstanding Reference Sources : the 1999 Selection Sources Committee, RUSA, ALA.
Industry Reviews
"Philosophers, once they leave the hermetically abstract redoubts of logic and mathematics (or the self-validating schemes and mathematics (or the self-validating schemes of religion), are to be judged by the honesty with which they confront their limitations as well as by the ingenuity of their revisions of the human condition. Men (and an increasing number of women) go round and round in hermeneutic circles. This encylopaedia, grandiose but never definitive, testifies to both their nobility and their folly. Luckily, however, it can never offer the last word. RECOMMENCONS!"
Times Literary Supplement - Frederic Raphael (06/26/1998)
"'The Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy' will prove indispensable--to all but the most solitary of philosophers; to historians of thought and culture; to students everywhere. But also to the literate of all persuasions."
New York Times Book Review - George Steiner (07/05/1998)
"The uniqueness of the present encyclopedia should not be underestimated. Taking a broad historical perspective, it distinguishes itself from its pre-20th century counterparts by its sustained commitment to the presentation of non-Western philosophical traditions and its avoidance of evaluative and totalizing rhetoric."
Taylor
