Your standard encyclopedia for the history of philosophy. Störig's "history of philosophy" includes a nice amount on eastern philosophy and deals with all the better known, big names from western philosophy. From the metaphysics-oriented natural philosophers until the huge diversity of 20th century philosophy movements - Störig has it all. ( )
