The Philosopher's Index comprises specialist literature from all areas of philosophy. It contains bibliographical information, keywords and in many cases also summaries of articles from over 550 journals, books and book reviews. The material dates back as far as 1940, and is updated quarterly.
Note
The Philosopher's Index is included in the OvidSP search interface from Wolters Kluwer and can therefore be searched at the same time as other OvidSP databases. However, this meta-search capability is not supported if you explicitly want to search in one of the thesauri.
