This exciting project covers all the great philosophical traditions not included in our acclaimed Routledge History of Philosophy series. In addition to the Islamic and Jewish volumes featured here, future plans include titles on Indian, Chinese, African and Japanese philosophy.
Routledge History of World Philosophies was developed in direct response to requests from academics and librarians and retains all the features that make the Routledge History of Philosophy unique in its field:
* thorough discussion of all important philosophical movements and individuals clearly situating them in the cultural and scientific context of the time
* comprehensive indexing and bibliographies
* specialist chapters written by some of the most influential figures in the field
* chronological tables and a full glossary of technical terms.
Whether taken as a series or as individual volumes, the Routledge History of World Philosophies offers a breadth of coverage and an attention to detail that is second to none.
