Dictionary of Philosophy and Religion
For thorough treatments of Ajivikas and the Apologists, the derivation and meaning of "angst" and "anthropopathism," and profiles of Apollo, Al-Kindi, and Antiochus of Ascalon, William Reese'sDictionary of Philosophy and Religionis the tome of preference. And it does a fine job withBthroughZ, as well. With more than 4,000 entries, the dictionary delves into Continental and Asian philosophies and religions, and provides biographies of more than 900 ancient, medieval, and modern philosophers. It's erudite, inclusive, accessible, and covers the major philosophers, gods, tenets, and terms of both the Eastern and Western worlds.--Stephanie Gold--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
