Reviews

This fourth edition by Proudfoot and Lacey has improved coverage of ethics, aesthetics, and philosophy of religion; previous editions demonstrated strengths in logic, metaphysics, philosophy of language, and epistemology. Entries in the dictionary... provide useful introductions to or clarifications of the immediate term. Short bibliographies of excellent quality follow most terms, and the annotations as to why they are being cited are incredibly helpful. - Choice July 2010
