Synopsis The aim of James Mark Baldwin’s Encyclopaedia was to present the terminology and concepts of philosophy psychology and science with a fullness and authority not before undertaken. To achieve this he engaged many of the modern world’s most eminent scholars. The international board of contributors and advisers, including academics from the USA, Germany, France, Italy and Britain, reads like a Who’s Who of early twentieth-century philosophy, it includes Bernard Bosanquet, John Dewey, William James, Hugo Msnsterberg, James Bonar, C. Lloyd Morgan, C.S. Andrew Pringle-Pattion, Josia Royee, G.F. Strout and Henry Sidgwick. Covering an immense range of topics, Baldwin’s encyclopaedia is a composite of ‘dictionary’ and ‘encyclopaedia’ made up of vocabularies, definitioins of terms, essays and articles.
