Getting Started

School of Athens
The School of Athens, by Rafael, 1509-1511

The Fulton Library has a variety of resources for research in philosophy, from aesthetics and metaphysics to epistemology and political philosophy. We have dictionaries and encyclopedias for background research, and we have databases for finding articles about all sorts of topics in philosophy. Our resources cover both Western and Eastern philosophies.

For best results when doing philosophy research:

  • Be as specific as possible. Databases have a hard time finding articles with ambiguous search terms.
  • Use philosophy jargon, the technical language used by philosophers and researchers.
  • Follow citations to find older, core texts and newer updates.
