Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy

Have you ever wondered about the great questions of life like: What is existence? Is it ever moral not to tell the truth?

Philosophers have been trying to answer those questions for over two thousand years and they want to share their ideas with you. The Smyrna Library has added access to the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy on its database page.

Read what Socrates and Plato thought about good government. Review Descartes arguments proving individual existence and other philosophers saying not so fast. The Encyclopedia provides concise articles on all the major issues written by internationally recognized authorities.

If you read one article a day for a month and you'll be thinking like a philosopher for the rest of your life.
