World Philosophies cover

World Philosophies presents in one volume a superb introduction to all the world’s major philosophical and religious traditions. Covering all corners of the globe, Ninian Smart’s work offers a comprehensive and global philosophical and religious picture.

In this revised and expanded second edition, a team of distinguished scholars, assembled by the editor Oliver Leaman, have brought Ninian Smart’s masterpiece up to date for the twenty-first century. Chapters have been revised by experts in the field to include recent philosophical developments, and the book includes a new bibliographic guide to resources in world philosophies. A brand new introduction which celebrates the career and writings of Ninian Smart, and his contribution to the study of world religions, helps set the work in context.

'Both the scholarly world and the general public owe a huge debt of gratitude to Oliver Leaman and his team for bringing the revised version up to date. This book is conceived on a typically grand scale and should both provoke and inspire the reader at the same time. This is a welcome new edition.'- John R. Hinnells, Robinson College, Cambridge
