Hekman Library: Philosophy: Home

Recommended Databases

PhilPapers: Philosophical Research Online
Philosophy research index, open access archive, and scholarly community.

PhilPapers is different from typical library research databases in that its structure and content has been developed by an online community of philosophers. See this page for more about its unique features.

NOTE: This database is not linked to Hekman’s Full-Text@Hekman service, so if the full-text is not included in the PhilPapers open access archive, you will need to check full-text access options manually through our library. (Ask a librarian if you need help with this.)
ATLA Religion Database with ATLASerials (EBSCO)
ATLA indexes articles and reviews on religion, theology, and biblical studies.
JSTOR
JSTOR offers scholarly, peer-reviewed journals across numerous disciplines.

Loeb Classical Library
Digital Loeb Classical Library with bilingual Greek, Latin, and English texts.

Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (SEP)

Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy
From their About page: "[P]rovide[s] open access to detailed, scholarly information on key topics and philosophers in all areas of philosophy." Entries are written for "advanced undergraduates majoring in philosophy and by other scholars who are not working in the field covered by that article."
