What is the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy?

The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (SEP) is a freely accessible online reference work published and edited by Stanford University. All articles are written by recognised scholars and peer reviewed, which makes the encyclopedia an authoritative academic source.

The encyclopedia covers the entire field of philosophy, from classical thinkers and ethical theories to modern topics such as artificial intelligence, language, logic and philosophy of science.

When is SEP useful?

Use the encyclopedia for:

  • definitions of concepts
  • insight into philosophical schools of thought
  • inspiration for further reading, as it includes links to other relevant sources.
