Editorial Reviews
Review
‘This is a superb reference work. It must be numbered among the three best one-volume guides to philosophy in the English language. …All libraries should seriously consider buying the Concise Routledge Encyclopedia.’ – American Reference Books Annual 2000 Edition
‘This is a bookshelf essential: well-organised, up to the minute, and a joy to browse. The most intelligent £25 you could spend.’ – Guardian books unlimited
‘It should find a welcome spot on the reference shelves of libraries, given the exceptionally reasonable price and the care that has gone into production.’ – Library Journal
‘it has a fabulous range, bolstering sober coverage of your standard dead white European males with Chinese,Arabic and Jewish philosohpy,and up-to-the minutes sallies into gender and eco-ethics’
‘Each entry is clear and to the point, without any waffle. No mean feat in a work of this nature … All, in all, great value for money.’ – The Lancet
‘CREP is recommended even for high-school, public and academic libraries already owning the Oxford and Cambridge titles; its annotated reading lists alone are worth the price.’ – Choice
‘Great value.’ – Lancet
