- GuiA 9y agoIt’s a great example of what an editorialized online encyclopedia can be. Would love to learn about other such resources for other fields.
- dvddgld 9y agoMe too! If anyone has any fantastic niche web encyclopaedia links, link away!
- nickpsecurity 9y agoGreat article and discussion on it here for anyone trying to build something similar: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10266103 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10266103
- lainon 9y agoNote that there's also the "Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy" which is, such as the SEP, written by professional Philosophers. http://www.iep.utm.edu/ http://www.iep.utm.edu/
- dvddgld 9y agoThey definitely deserve a shout-out too, these two resources happily got me through a couple of undergrad philosophy electives!
- pmoriarty 9y agoThe Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy is definitely a step up from Wikipedia's coverage of philosophy, but it comes from a strong and pretty obvious Analytic point of view. For coverage from other points of view (which arguably give more accurate and informed accounts of non-analytic philosophy), you have to resort to classes or books.
