General Philosophy Reference
-
Gale Encyclopedia of Philosophy"[S]ince 1967, the Encyclopedia of Philosophy, described by Booklist as 'the best and most comprehensive English-language reference source for philosophy,' has been the cornerstone of the philosophy reference shelf. Lauded for its clear and accessible presentation of wide-ranging philosophical subjects, the Encyclopedia has earned its place as a first-stop resource."
-
Stanford Encyclopedia of PhilosophyFree to all, but unlike Wikipedia, "each [SEP] entry is maintained and kept up to date by an expert or group of experts in the field. All entries and substantive updates are refereed by the members of a distinguished Editorial Board before they are made public. Consequently, our dynamic reference work maintains academic standards while evolving and adapting in response to new research."
Gender Reference Works
- "Broad theoretical essays address issues of sex and gender at the personal and the social level; others examine issues of identity, status, class, ethnicity, race, and nation; of sexuality and the body; of social institutions and the structures of representation – all through the lens of gender."
