The more than 2,100 entries include, according to the publisher, some 1,000 biographical entries and "more than 450 new articles." Biographical entries range from less than a page (Francesco Bonatelli, Cheng Hao) to more than 20 pages (Aristotle, John Locke, Bertrand Russell). The 10 separately authored overviews under Chinese philosophy (Buddhism, Confucianism, etc.) together run 90 pages. Gene Blocker's merely 8-page Japanese philosophy justifies in part its relative briefness with this opening: "The first, and perhaps the most interesting, question regarding Japanese philosophy is whether there is such a thing." Other solid overviews include Human Genome Project, Medical ethics, Neuroscience, and Philosophy of chemistry. The combined articles on the history and varieties of logic are a small book, concluding with a 27-page glossary of logical terms. Lengthy articles such as Computability theory, Infinity in mathematics and logic, and Information theory, laden with logical and mathematical symbols, will perhaps be beyond the grasp of the average undergraduate philosophy major; such articles are by far the exception, and most will be comprehensible to the informed general reader. Volume 10 opens with 13 articles that missed the deadlines for being included in volumes 1 through 9. These are followed by a thematic outline of contents; extensive bibliographies, in many languages, of philosophy dictionaries and encyclopedias, journals, and bibliographies published since 1965; and a 545-page index.

Psychoanalysis is over 100 years old. Over the course of the 20th century, many new terms
and concepts have been added to Freud's original constructs. This evolution has occurred
not just in Vienna, Berlin, or Europe, but rather, all over the world. Consequently, new
ideas have been formulated throughout and across the increasingly far-flung psychoanalytic
community, and despite the existence of an international organization with a rich scientific
program, regularly published journals, and an abundance of meetings and exchanges,
the language of psychoanalysis is not as uniform as one would expect. Some concepts are
understood differently and more importantly, have varying implications in different parts
of the world. Other ideas are highly developed and given special status in some countries,
while they are unknown or rarely utilized in others. To complicate matters further, schools
of thought have developed with variant degrees of deviation from Freud's metapsychology.
