Summary note
'Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Philosophers' is a massive resource that brings together thousands of articles on over 6,500 philosophers. It will offer an expanding collection of entries on thinkers from a range of locations and time periods--from North America, Britain, Ireland, and the Middle East to Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa; from early philosophers and classicists to modern twentieth-century thinkers. Figures not only include the giants of philosophy, but also civil rights activists, clergymen, poets, politicians, and many others who offered thoughts on philosophical matters. Extensive cross references and related entries make for a more in-depth and diverse study of the history of philsophical thought than ever before.
