A comprehensive update of the best-selling first edition, this revitalized new text presents readers with a series of clear, well-written entries focusing on fifty of the most influential philosophers from the last two thousand years.

Chosen to present the traditional mainstream of European philosophy, the text also provides a critical survey that meets the needs of readers seeking a broad basic understanding as well as a foundation for further philosophical enquiry.

Encompassing a wide range of ancient, medieval and modern philosophers, features of the second edition include:

• new entries on Dewey, Collingwood, Popper, Quine, Merleau-Ponty, Ayer and Rawls
• a thorough revision of existing entries
• a complete update of the further reading section
• an expanded glossary
• the addition of an alphabetical table of contents and an index for ease of use.
