Second Edition
'The Fontana Dictionary of Modern Thought' remains uniquely capable of helping people understand the whole vocabulary of modern thought. It has been updated to include more than a thousand new entries, while the existing entries have been extensively revised and in many cases rewritten.
More discursive than an ordinary dictionary, more compact that an encyclopedia, more selective than either, it covers the whole range of modern thought from the latest developments in astrophysics to recent trends in the arts. For this new edition some areas, such as anthropology, world history, critical theory, economics, philosophy, music, medicine and the psychological disciplines, have been substantially enlarged.
