Abridged Table of Contents
Assigned Entries Only
Welcome to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, which was designed from its inception
(September 1995) as a dynamic reference work. In a dynamic reference work, each entry is maintained
and kept up to date by an expert or group of experts in the field. These authors are given remote
electronic access to copies of their entries on our server and they can update those copies any time the
need arises. Moreover, all entries and updates are refereed by the members of a distinguished Editorial
Board before they are made public. Whenever an author uploads a new entry or modifies an existing
entry, the new material is stored off-line until it is approved by the Editorial Board member in charge of
that entry. Consequently, our dynamic reference work is responsive to new research, for it can change at
any time with the addition of new entries or the modification of existing entries. You can, however, cite
fixed editions which are made on a quarterly basis and stored in our Archives. Thank you for your
patience as our Encyclopedia develops. (Many of the assigned entries below have not yet been written.)
See the Unabridged Table of Contents for the complete list of projected and assigned entries.
