Masterpiences of World Philosophy by Frank Magill

Excellent review of books and related literature for philosophers of history and more recent contributors of the philosophic dialog. Very well written usually 2 to 4 page summaries of the philosopher's key books. A great way to review the philosophic dialog in print and especially helpful are the summary of basic ideas at the beginning of each book review. It is helpful for those as a guide for going on to read the originals. Kind of a cliffs notes to philosophy. Very valuable. Roland R. Kratzner
