Trade ReviewThe Bloomsbury Dictionary of Eighteenth-Century German Philosophers is an outstanding reference work that provides reliable and detailed information about German thinkers both great and small throughout the 18th Century. The first rate team of scholars who have contributed their expertise makes the Dictionary useful both for its lengthy articles on major philosophers and for the information it provides on figures of whom one has no prior knowledge. -- Eric Watkins, Professor of Philosophy, University of California, San Diego, USA
The Bloomsbury Dictionary of Eighteenth-Century German Philosophers is an invaluable resource for scholars working on Leibniz, Kant, and everything in between. The many detailed entries, written by leading scholars in the field, provide a fascinating glimpse into the incredibly rich and vibrant intellectual culture of Enlightenment Germany. Now that it is newly available in this (expanded) paperback edition, the Dictionary should, and undoubtedly will, find a place on the desk of every serious scholar and student of this period. -- Corey W. Dyck, Associate Professor and Graham and Gale Wright Distinguished Scholar, University of Western Ontario, Canada
