Synopsis
This is the most authoritative and comprehensive one-volume dictionary of philosophy available in English. It contains over 4,000 entries, which range in length from 100 to 4,000 words. The Dictionary has been written by an international team of over 350 experts, so, rather than offering the limited perspective of a single writer, it distils the collective knowledge of the professional community of philosophers in an accessible manner.The Cambridge Dictionary clearly and concisely defines both technical terms and crucial concepts, and will promote the understanding of philosophy on all levels and across all fields. It includes substantial explanatory articles on all major philosophers as well as hundreds of minor figures. There are expansive, up-to-date overviews of all the important sub-disciplines such as ethics, epistemology, metaphysics, philosophy of mind and logic. No other reference work on philosophy contains so many entries on related subjects such as cognitive science, linguistics, theology, law, history of science and literature.

Review
'... a beguiling editorial thoroughness, concision and clarity of presentation are the hallmarks of this distinguished volume ... will prove its usefulness over the years to come.' Edward Neill, Times Education Supplement
' ... wonderful cross-referencing which makes the volume so addictive as the reader pursues his or her own 'figure in the carpet'. Edward Neill, Times Education Supplement
'This is easily the best one-volume reference tool on philosophy that I have seen.' Graham Nerlich, Australasian Journal of Philosophy
'... the next reference work in philosophy that every library should own is The Cambridge Dictionary of Philosophy ... highly recommended for all libraries.' Philosophy and Religion
'Robert Audi has undoubtedly produced the most comprehensive single-volume dictionary of philosophy - ever. It would make a fine addition to any philosophy student's library.' Rory Fox, The Heythop Journal
