"The organization of the Dictionary is genuinely helpful, including as it does short bibliographies for
some of the heavyweight entries, pronunciation guides for others and careful cross-references throughout. The entries
themselves are lucid, reliable, and often scrupulous in distinguishing various senses of the same term used in
different intellectual traditions."
