To support the creation of an online encyclopedia of philosophy.

The goal of this project is to produce a high- quality 'dynamic' encyclopedia of philosophy: an encyclopedia of philosophy that is published on the World Wide Web and that gives the authors electronic access to their entries so that they may keep the entries up to date. The encyclopedia is intended to serve as an authoritative reference work in philosophy suitable for use by professionals and students in the field and in related disciplines, as well as the general public. A Board of Editors will referee all entries falling within their respective fields of expertise. Computer programs will monitor all the entries and keep the Editor and Editorial Board apprised of all changes to entries. Substantive changes made to the entries will also be refereed. The resulting encyclopedia will be unique--it will be the first encyclopedia that does not go out of date.
