Philosopher pics (#1)
Welcome
Welcome--
The purpose of this guide is to assist you in finding and using resources in PHILOSOPHY. The tabs above will help you find articles, books, and other information. Each tab introduces a range of resources, both print and electronic, but is not intended to be exhaustive.
If you need additional help, check out the "Need Help?" box located in the left sidebar of many of the Philosophy Research Guide pages to contact a librarian by IM, phone, or email.
Included on this "Start Here" page is a short list of resources--some available online and some available only in print format in the Raynor Library Reference Collection--that may help you get started with your research.

A Companion to the Philosophers
Raynor Reference: B72.C595 1999

Multicultural in its approach, it provides authoritative coverage of the major Chinese, Indian, Japanese, African, Jewish, and Islamic philosophers, as well as European and American thinkers.
Blackwell Companion to Philosophy
Raynor Reference: B21.B56 2003
The 2nd edition of this distinguished and popular Companion introduces new chapters on the philosophy of biology; bioethics, genethics, and medical ethics; environmental ethics; business ethics; ethnicity, culture and philosophy; Plato and Aristotle; medieval philosophy; Francis Bacon, Nietzsche; Husserl and Heidegger; and Sartre, Foucault and Derrida. It also revises several existing chapters to extend its comprehensive and authoritative exploration of the issues, controversies, and problems that arise from the study of philosophy.
Cambridge Dictionary of Philosophy
Raynor Reference: B51.C35 1999
"The Cambridge Dictionary of Philosophy is a superb reference work that will help philosophers and non-philosophers alike to understand major figures and ideas in the history of philosophy. Superbly cross-referenced and meticulously edited it will also provide students and teachers with leads to follow, and guides for further reading and research." Edward Said, Columbia University
