Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy
Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy (REP) is an English-language philosophy encyclopedia. It is one of the most extensive and important reference works for philosophy. The editor is Edward Craig . The first edition, published by Routledge in 1998 , consists of 10 volumes. The more than 2000 entries deal with terms as well as persons and were created by over 1200 scientists. This edition is also available as a CD-ROM edition.
In addition to the focus on Anglo-American philosophy, the encyclopedia also contains more than 400 articles on Chinese , Japanese , Korean , Indian , Tibetan , Jewish , Arabic , Islamic , Russian , Latin American and African philosophy.
The ten-volume work was followed by two one-volume editions: The Concise Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy published in 1999 consists of the introductory summaries of the 2000 entries in the REP. The Shorter Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy published in 2005 contains only 900 entries. However, these are more detailed than those of the Concise Routledge .
REP Online 2.0 has existed since 2002 , which is based on the 10-volume edition, but is continuously updated and supplemented. Some academic libraries allow their users to access the database or the older e-book version of the work from home.
