Exceptional survey of philosophy,

This review is from: A Ready Reference to Philosophy East and West (Hardcover)
I had the privilege of taking several classes with Dr. Bales at Conception Seminary College during the 90-91 academic year, and there are not enough superlatives to describe the high quality of his teaching and scholarship. This book is one of the books I treasure most highly in my collection because it neatly summarizes every major philosopher, and yet is in language that is easily understood and even makes for pleasant reading in its own right. If you are looking for a handy reference guide to philosophy, you cannot do better than this. I highly recommend it, even at the inflated textbook price.
