Since 1967, the Encyclopedia of Philosophy, described by Booklist as «the best and most comprehensive English-language reference source for philosophy,» has been the cornerstone of the philosophy reference shelf. Lauded for its clear and accessible presentation of wide-ranging philosophical subjects, the Encyclopedia has earned its place as a first-stop resource for general readers, students and educators. A Supplement to the first edition was released to critical acclaim in 1996. A new and updated edition of this multivolume set — the first comprehensive new edition in almost 40 years — has been compiled under the close guidance of a 21-member board of scholars headed by Donald Borchert (Ohio University).
