Library Project: Phase 1, Part B

Kersey, Ethel. 1989. Women Philosophies. Greenwood Press: New York, NY.
This reference was particularly interesting to me as I am taking Feminist Philosophies in addition to a Feminist Sociology course this semester.
Bales, Engen. 1987. A Ready Reference to Philosophy East and West. University of America Press: Lanham, MD.
This reference was, although not surprisingly, disappointing in that it has the audacity to call itself East and West yet of the 10 chapters in the book, only two were about Eastern Philosophy and these chapters were respectively confined to the philosophies of India and China.
Buswell, Robert. 2004. Encyclopedia of Buddhism. MacMillan Reference: New York, NY.
I’ve had a fascination with Buddhist Philosophy for quite some time and this looked like a really informative reference which I might use in the future.
McGreal, Ian. 1961. Worldly Philosophy. Salem Press: Englewood, NJ
Degeorge, Richard. 1980. The Philosophers Guide. The Regents Press of Kansas. Lawrence, KA.
These last two sources, while seemingly informative, still bothered me with what has become philosophies universal fallacy of claiming universality while simultaneously limiting its scope to almost exclusively Western philosophies.
