Book overview: This dictionary owes its success to its rigor, ease of use, and originality of its approach. It does not merely serve for identification, like many compilation works of this type: it defines the core (or meanings) of concepts through quotations in which they are formulated, and main texts that "clarify" them. Therefore, it considers the fertility and richness of concepts. The reader will not find here a hurried stockpile of canned knowledge, but a fundamental tool for authentic philosophical practice. Each term is presented according to the different fields in which it appears (epistemology theory, ethics, psychoanalysis, etc.); where references allow for further and deeper research. The philosophical concept derives its meaning from philosophers, and this is the premise on which this work is based. This philosophy dictionary contains fundamental concepts, from the most traditional to the most contemporary, and essential for understanding philosophical thought. Its originality lies in giving voice to philosophers to define the terms they use, whether they are great classical concepts or concepts they invent; thus, terms are primarily defined through quotations from authors, creating a specific dynamic of their history. This dictionary also opens space for original concepts and borrowed vocabulary from philosophy and other disciplines that feed philosophy (psychoanalysis, sociology, linguistics, anthropology), as well as for contemporary thinkers who innovate and renew philosophical thinking by anchoring it in our current era.
