Robbins Library Notes

Good morning readers!

Just over a year ago, I wrote a post about MindPapers, an online bibliography of approximately 18,000 published papers and online papers in the philosophy of mind maintained by David Chalmers and David Bourget.  Chalmers maintains several directories of online philosophy papers on his Web site, with the help of others.

It seems that Chalmers and Bourget have a new philosophy paper directory project in mind, according to a recent post on Chalmers’ blog, Fragments of Consciousness:

Now back to philosophy.  Or at least, to philosophical taxonomy. David Bourget and I are finalizing a new project for access to online work in philosophy.  To a very rough first approximation it will be like MindPapers generalized to all of philosophy, although there will be many significant differences (it will be less ambitious in some respects, more ambitious in others).  More on that when it goes public, hopefully within the next month or so.

Chalmers and Bourget are requesting help with setting up and refining the taxonomy which they will be using to organize the papers.  So, if you would like to review the taxonomy and offered suggestions, take a look at Chalmers’ post for instructions on where and how to do so.

A hat-tip to Manuel Vargas, on The Garden of Forking Paths, for this information.
