Stanford
encyclopedia of philosophy
A work in progress - many of the assigned entries
have not yet been written - designed as a dynamic
reference work, i.e., each entry is maintained and
kept up to date by an expert or group of experts
in the field. Updates are refereed by the members
of a distinguished Editorial Board before they are
made public. Consequently, it is responsive to new
research, for it can change at any time with new
additions or modifications.
The
Internet encyclopedia of philosophy
Articles in the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy
are currently from three sources: original contributions
by specialized philosophers around the internet,
adaptations of material written by the editors for
classroom purposes, and adaptations from public domain
sources (typically from two or more sources for per
article).
