Playlists

Compiled by leading scholars, the playlists spotlight articles in new and emerging themes, or topics that have been overlooked. Each playlist offers a personal angle on one of the many topics to be pursued within REP Online.In our first update of the newly re-launched website, we expanded the playlists set to five:
 


Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy was relaunched on 22nd April 2015. Customers can access the site through their existing credentials. Please contact us if you encounter any problems with your access.

New to REP in 2015 are the archival versions of articles. It is now possible to view previous versions of an article that has been revised: earlier versions can be accessed via the links at the top of the articles, labelled 'v1', 'v2', etc., with v1 being the oldest version. 

Also new in 2015 are the Playlists, guest-edited selections of articles that offer a personal angle on the rich and diverse content of REP Online. Compiled by leading scholars, they spotlight articles in new and emerging topics, or topics that have been overlooked. In our first playlist, General Editor Tim Crane provides the ideal introduction to REP Online and to philosophy.
