5.0 out of 5 stars
A most impressive piece of work. I highly recommend it,
This review is from: A Dictionary of Philosophy: Revised Second Edition (Paperback)
I have just logged in 30 hours of studying this book, and it has given me, a philosopher by hobby, an unprecedented level of insight into the extremely challenging but highly rewarding study of philosophy. This book is well organized, and impressively written. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning about philosophy.

"I'll give it two thumbs up!",
By Kathleen A Zarrella (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Dictionary of Philosophy (Hardcover)
As a beginner in studying philosophy I found this book of great value and the price is fantastic too! I've seen other Philosophy Dictionairies but they failed in comparison to Antony Flew's version "A Dictionary of Philosophy" You will find yourself searching for one thing and before you know it you're off on a dozen different delightfully written tangents. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this book for any friends or family members who are interested in philosophy. It IS worth the read and I do NOT say this that often when it comes to books. *wink*

A real bargain,
By
This review is from: A Dictionary of Philosophy (Hardcover)
This 400 page dictionary is a real bargain. The editor Antony Flew has done a great service for philosophy lovers. A bible for philosophy students.Flew is one of the best known specialists of linguistic philosophy. In this carefully researched work he assists readers to clarify meanings and understand known and well known terms and issues on philosophy.
