The central aim of The Philosopher’s Dictionary is to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date guide of philosophical terms. Definitions are brief, clear, and user-friendly. Notes on usage, spelling, and pronunciation are included, and there are brief entries on hundreds of the best-known philosophers. Throughout, Martin writes in a style at once informative and authoritative, making difficult concepts intelligible without distorting them. The third edition has been revised throughout, and includes many new entries on philosophical concepts, from Berry’s paradox to the Chinese room example to perfectionism and satisfice. The number of entries on active philosophers has also been considerably increased.

Kanadyjski filozof i logik średniego pokolenia Robert M. Martin jest autorem tego niezwykle popularnego w krajach anglojęzycznych wprowadzenia do filozofii. Inaczej niż w filozofii kontynentalnej punktem wyjścia filozoficznego namysłu nie jest tajemnica, lecz zagadka. Ćwierć tysiąca filozoficznych puzzli rozważanych (jakże żywo i dowcipnie!) przez Martina daje czytelnikowi szeroką panoramę zagadnień od kwestii logicznych po etyczne. Nie jest to bowiem luźny zbiór łamigłówek, lecz „systematyczne” wprowadzenie do tradycyjnej problematyki filozofii. Książka ta, inspirująca i zabawna, prowadzi żywy dialog z czytelnikiem, nawet jeśli sztywny akademik uzna za zbyt ekscentryczne rozdziały w rodzaju „Moralność a coca-cola” czy „Bóg i doskonała pizza”. Dlatego jest to lektura dla wszystkich, od licealistów zaczynając, gotowych na wyprawę w świat zagadek-tajemnic filozofii.
