The "Pocket Dictionary of Philosophy" is a synthesis of the extensive "Dictionary of Philosophy" by José Ferrater Mora, complemented by the "Dictionary of Great Philosophers" by the same author. Priscilla Cohn, compiler of this abridged version, has omitted the entries dedicated to individual philosophers, focusing on philosophical concepts with a long history and relevance in contemporary debates. This repertoire includes the essential elements to understand a wide range of philosophical notions, offering a solid foundation without omitting the fundamental.
José María Ferrater Mora was a Spanish philosopher, essayist and writer. He is considered the most prominent Catalan philosopher of the 20th-century and was the author of over 35 books, including a four-volume Diccionario de filosofía and Being and Death: An Outline of Integrationist Philosophy (1962). Subjects he worked on include ontology, history of philosophy, metaphysics, anthropology, the philosophy of history and culture, epistemology, logic, philosophy of science, and ethics. He also directed several films.
