Publisher's Synopsis
This encyclopaedia is intended to include all important philosophers of east and west, as well as many points of contact between their philosophies and other disciplines. These volumes contain nearly 5,000 articles of ample length which can be of value to the specialist, while most of the articles are sufficiently explicit even for the general reader. We believe that there is no philosophical concept or theory of any important philosophers that is no identified and discussed in this great undertaking.
