The Oxford Companion to Philosophy
In
addition to long essays devoted to the great American and British
philosophers, this book includes entries on less monumental figures
such as John Stuart Mill and William James. Contemporary philosophers
are not overlooked with entries dedicated to thinkers such as Peter
Singer. As expected, ideas, arguments, theories and the like are
included. Helpful extras are the chronological table of philosophy (600
B.C. – 1994) and maps of philosophy which visually break down topics
into detailed subtopics and related topics.
