Philosophy: A Guide to the Reference Literature: Reference Sources in the Humanities

Autor Hans E. Bynagle
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 mai 2006 – vârsta până la 17 ani
A newly reorganized, up-to-date overview of key reference works in philosophy, reflects a veritable explosion of reference sources, both print and online, published over the past decade. Nearly 300 of the 700+ entries consist of new material, with an additional 50 entries substantially revised and updated. English-language sources are emphasized, but important non-English works are also well represented. For professional philosophers, philosophy educators, students from beginning to graduate, and librarians.This guide represents a substantial updating and complete re-organization of the author's 1997 Philosophy: A Guide to the Reference Literature, 2nd edition (1st edition, 1986). It reflects a veritable explosion of reference sources, both print and online, in the field of philosophy over the past decade. Nearly 300 entries (or 40 percent) are entirely new. An additional 50 or so entries have substantial revisions recording new editions, changes in serial publications, series, and websites, or additional volumes completed in multi-volume sets. In addition, it has been entirely re-organized along topical lines. Each of its twenty-three chapters is divided into four sections: (1) general sources, (2) history of philosophy, (3) branches of philosophy, and (4) miscellanea. This new arrangement accords better with the greatly expanded range of philosophy reference sources and makes it easier for the user to identify related sources of different types (bibliographies, dictionaries, web gateways, etc.) on the same topic. Like its predecessor Guide to Reference Sources in Philosophy, the 3rd edition aims to serve a diverse audience of professional philosophers, philosophy educators, students from beginning to graduate, and librarians. All entries include generous annotations that are often evaluative as well as descriptive. English-language sources are emphasized, but non-English works important to researchers or of interest to users with facility in other languages are also well-represented.

Recenzii

[T]his work is commendable for its content, scope, and organization. Previous editions were organized by types of reference resources. In this edition Bynagle has helpfully opted for a subject arrangement of the material: General Sources, History of Philosophy, Branches of Philosophy, and Miscellanea. The annotations provided for each entry are generally helpful. The book covers core, gateway, and organizational Web sites; it amply compensates for modest cross-referencing with extensive author, title, and subject indexes. Recommended. Primarily academic libraries serving graduate students and research faculty in philosophy.
[A] coherent perceptive reference guide.
