Dictionary of contemporary philosophical terms

The third, expanded and updated edition of the dictionary reflects fundamental shifts in contemporary thinking; Contemporaneity is meant here in the sense of the relevance of all previous substantial philosophical thought for today. In an accessible form, it presents that area of knowledge which goes back to the sources of human life and all existence. Familiarity with basic philosophical concepts and facts can be a stimulus for further self-examination. The terms are interlinked by references, individual philosophers and thinkers have their medallions, and the dictionary is supplemented by a detailed index of names. It will serve the students, teachers, to the press, sociologists, political scientists, lawyers, politicians and all, who do not want to be trapped in the one-dimensionality of their current thinking and desire a deeper view of life and the world around them.
