The Ism Book: A Field Guide to Philosophy

Traditional dictionaries of philosophy provide a great deal of detailed information and define a large number of uncommon terms. By contrast, The Ism Book is more of a "field guide" that cuts to the essence of key concepts in the history of ideas. The longest-running dictionary of philosophy on the Internet (continually maintained since 1996), The Ism Book is finally available in paperback and ebook formats for convenient reference. Naturally, the online version is still available at ismbook.com.

After completing formal studies in philosophy and ancient Greek, Peter Saint-Andre embarked on a career in information technology and is currently chief technology officer of an internet startup. In his spare time, he composes guitar music and writes about philosophy. He lives in Parker, Colorado, with his wife and a very spoiled Golden Retriever.
