[email protected] Philosophy Study Guide: Introductory Works, Dictionaries, Encyclopedias The purpose of the section " Study Guides to Western Philosophy" is to give both the beginner and the more experienced reader a brief guide to the introductory literature on general philosophy, Bibliography of Philosophy and Manuals of Style, history of philosophy, metaphysics, ontology, Philosophical Logic and Philosophy of Logic. In its initial form the pages will contain a selection of introductory readings, with brief annotations on the content (for the most important books, also the index will be included); subsequently these will be expanded to include more specific essays on selected problems; in the sections for beginners, preference will be given to those books more readily available. With the exception of the section " Philosophical Bibliographies" only works in English will be cited (for the studies in French, Italian and German, separated pages are in preparation).
