New Dictionary of the History of Ideas (6 Volume Set)

Description

This long-awaited update to the original "Dictionary of the History of Ideas" is designed to introduce a general audience to the main ideas and movements of global cultural history from antiquity to the twenty-first century. Distinguished scholars from many fields explore major ideas and their significance across cultures and eras and examine major developments in intellectual history during the past 30 years.

This is an entirely new work rather than a mere revision, featuring more than twice as many articles as the original as well as a more definite global view of the topics covered when compared to the Eurocentric nature of the older set. Entries include those that could barely have been thought of in the mid-1970s (Computer science, Sexual harassment, Visual culture) along with those on the same topics but entirely rewritten from the original (City, Nationalism, Time).
The result is an encyclopedia that, while still reflecting ideas that have shaped the Western world, goes beyond the European tradition to explore the thought of Asia, Africa and the Americas. In all, well worth the 30-year wait.

Please note that the new edition differs considerably from the old one, some entries were completely rewritten and some info that was available in the old set is absent in the new one.
But you can find the old entries online: http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/DicHist/alpha/
