Philosophers - > Philosophy - Subject Guides at Seattle Pacific University

Introduction

This page covers not just Philosophers in the more restricted contemporary sense, but also persons of importance to intellectual history more generally (with the exception of many of the Theologians covered under > Theology).

It is also a work in progress. It will be filled in from offline files, filled out with the findings of further research, and updated on an as-needed or as-discovered basis only. Once enough information on a given philosopher (again, the term is here interpreted very broadly) has been assembled to justify a spin-off, this page will simply link out to the guide spun off.

For a list of the Personal Pages of contemporary philosophers, see PhilPapers.

Index, Corpus Augustinianum Gissense
Corpus Augustinianum Gissense (CAG), a version of which is available also via Past Masters, and which is said to be superior to even the Library of Latin Texts for Augustine studies, includes an Index to Lemata, to Greek words, and to Biblical quotations. See the demo version of CAG online. How reliably its abbreviations for the biblical books would work in a straightforward full-text search in the version of CAG in Past Masters isn't entirely clear.

Each installment of "The Hume literature" was headed by a list of additional bibliographies, but this feature of Hume studies was discontinued after 2010 (vol. 37, no. 2 (November 2011)). Although there was talk at that time of "creating and maintaining an online database of the Hume literature, hosted either on the Hume Society or the Hume Studies website," this does not seem to have materialized.

Ces listes sont précédées d’un inventaire complet des sources : périodiques, actes de congrès, mélanges, recueils, inventaire auquel on se reportera pour localiser avec précision tous les articles énumérés. Cette bibliographie ne comprend cependant ni commentaire ni inventaire de comptes rendus ni index analytique. Mon but a été de dresser la liste la plus complète et la plus précise possible des travaux sur Platon et sur ses œuvres publiés.... Il a cependant été tenu compte de tous les travaux antérieurs non mentionnés dans les précédentes bibliographies."
