Dictionary of World Philosophy

Description

“

In Jorje Luis Borges's "The Library of Babel", the universe is envisioned as a library composed of an indefinite number of incessantly and insufficiently lighted hexagonal galleries, each wall containing five shelves, each shelf containing thirty-five books of uniform format, and each book - however minutely - different in content from all others, but the entire (formless and chaotic) set of books containing all the possible combinations of twenty-five symbols.The narrator aknowledges that, as a youth, he wandered, like many others, through the library's galleries in search of a catalog of catalogs, a compendium of all the rest, which would help organize and understand the chaotic library-universe and its contents.The task of writing the present dictionary has at times felt disquietly analogous to that of <The Library of Babel>'s wanderers. This is the first comprehensive reference to the vast field of world philosophy. The Dictionary covers all the major subfields of the discipline, with entries drawn from West African, Arabic, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Jewish, Korean, Latin American, Maori, and Native American philosophy--including Nahua philosophy, a previously unexplored, but key instance of Pre-Hispanic thought.
