Digital Reference Shelf: Philosophy

Professional association that promotes the discipline and profession of philosophy, both within the academy and in the public arena.

Provides open access to detailed, scholarly, peer-reviewed information on key topics and philosophers in all areas of philosophy.

A refereed, open access series of original papers in philosophy.

A comprehensive index and bibliography of philosophy maintained by the community of philosophers.

This collaborative website provides several tools to explore the various 'classifications of the sciences' put forward by numerous scholars over the centuries, and to visualize the evolution of disciplinary borders from Antiquity to our days. The ultimate goal of this project is to reconstruct the genealogical tree of the sciences, namely, the "table of contents" of the history of human knowledge. As such, the present atlas should be of interest not only to historians, but also to philosophers, sociologists and anyone interested in the history of their discipline and its relations to others sciences.
