*One Hundred Twentieth-Century Philosophers* offers biographical information and critical analysis of the life, work and impact of some of the most significant figures in philosophy this century.

Taken from the acclaimed *Biographical Dictionary of Twentieth-Century Philosophers* , the 100 entries are alphabetically organised, from Adorno to Zhang Binglin, and cover individuals from both continental and analytic philosophy.

The entries have an identical four-part structure making it easy to compare and contrast information, comprising:

* biographical details

* a bibliography of major works

* a listing of relevant secondary and critical literature

* an appraisal of the philosopher's thoughts and achievements.

A separate glossary provides an introduction to the origins, development and main features of major philosophical schools and movements and offers select bibliographies to guide the reader to further research.
