Dictionary of Philosophy by Thomas Mautner

This dictionary is the ideal one volume philosophy reference source for general readers, students, and academics. It covers all the key concepts, doctrines and schools of thought from both the Anglo–American and Continental philosophical traditions. A unique feature is the powerful series of philosophical self–portraits by leading figures, including Sir Isaiah Berlin, Alasdair MacIntyre, W. V. O. Quine, Richard Rorty and John Searle.

“More than 100 Western philosophers have contributed. Those eminent enough to deserve entries themselves, thus absolving the editor and allowing them some modest (or not–so–modest) self advertisement.” Nicholas Bagnall, The Sunday Telegraph.
