Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy

The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy (IEP) was founded in 1995 as a non-profit organization to provide open access to detailed, scholarly information on key topics and philosophers in all areas of philosophy. The Encyclopedia receives no funding, and operates through the volunteer work of the staff, which consists of editors, authors, volunteers, and technical advisers. At present the IEP is visited by over 320,000 persons per month.

Most of the articles in The IEP are original contributions by specialized philosophers; these are identifiable by the author's name at the foot of the article. Others are temporary, or "proto articles," and have largely been adapted from older sources. They are identifiable by the inclusion of the initials "IEP" at the close and will in time be replaced by original articles.
