The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy ( September ) was established in 1995 as a dynamic reference ( English dynamic reference work reasons). The SEP is considered to be one of the best freely accessible philosophical lexicons on the Internet and, based on the access statistics and the various reviews, is very popular. However, it is not yet over. Editing Editor is Edward N. Zalta of Stanford University ; He is supported by a well-known team of specialists (for example, Richard Kraut, who published The Cambridge Companion to Plato , is responsible for the Plato area ). All entries, both on people and on technical terms, are created by specialists and checked by the editors ( peer review ). The number of available articles was around 100 in autumn 1999, almost 500 at the end of November 2003 and 766 in September 2006. In July 2015 there were 1478 articles. In terms of content, many of the articles in the SEP are in the Anglo-American, analytical tradition.
The special thing is that the SEP entries are constantly updated and supplemented. Funding for the SEP comes from a fund set up with various library associations such as the International Coalition of Library Consortia (ICOLC) and the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition (SPARC), with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Science Foundation as well as volunteer donations.
